Today's economic calendar is light, with only US building permits and housing starts scheduled for release.
UK jobs data released today showed a surprise increase in wages, which boosted the odds of another 25 basis point rate hike by the Bank of England (BoE) to 90%.
This week is relatively quiet on news this week, with the major headline being the FOMC minutes being released on Wednesday.
The stock market experienced a notable rally, with the S&P 500 logging its best day since April and the Dow Jones Industrial Average soaring nearly 500 points.
In a trading day characterised by cautious anticipation and nuanced market reactions, the S&P 500 displayed remarkable stability, closing nearly flat. This subdued closure follows Moody's recent revision of the U.S. outlook and comes on the eve of a highly anticipated inflation data release.
Last week's financial markets have been a theatre of contrasting scenarios. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has shown remarkable resilience with a significant rally, while Saudi Arabia ETFs have faced unprecedented outflows.
The tranquillity in the financial markets was disrupted as the S&P 500's impressive eight-day ascent came to an abrupt halt, signalling investor unease.
In a testament to its enduring resilience, the S&P 500 index carved out an eighth straight day of gains, despite a modest uptick, while the Nasdaq Composite marginally retreated by 0.1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged down by 0.2%, shedding 80 points.
In a robust extension of recent market advances, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite climbed higher on Tuesday, marking their most prolonged series of gains since November 2021 and reinforcing the upward momentum established in November’s rally.
US equities delivered a remarkable performance yesterday, with the S&P CFD making a strong comeback by reclaiming the 200-day moving average. It also retested crucial trend lines and horizontal resistance levels near the 4330 mark.
Treasury yields continue to slide lower following yesterday's quarterly refunding announcement and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision, creating a favorable environment for bond investors.
US Treasury yields pulled back in response to the announcement of lower-than-expected bond issuance for the fourth quarter. This development sparked positive risk sentiment and led to a bid in bonds, resulting in a decrease in bond yields.
The Bank of Japan is poised for another revision of its yield curve control (YCC) framework in response to emerging economic challenges. In a critical monetary policy meeting scheduled for Tuesday, the central bank is considering allowing the yields on 10-year Japanese government bonds to exceed the 1% mark.
Today's key event in the data calendar is the release of US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data. While this is the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation, it typically lacks the same level of market-induced volatility as the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Recent economic data has been mixed, with better jobs data but a big surprise move lower in inflation last week.
