The S&P500 and Nasdaq renewed record as bonds remained bid and US dollar soft after Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Powell’s semiannual testimony and ahead of today’s US CPI update.
Technology stocks led gains on encouraging news from Taiwan, Apple rallied nearly 1.9% on optimistic iPhone sales forecast, US crude jumped after tipping a toe below the $81pb yesterday as the latest EIA data showed a 3.4-mio barrel fall in US oil inventories last week and as OPEC revised its global economic growth forecast slightly higher to 2.9%.
A set of data above expectations could slow down the doves and call...

Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony yesterday wasn’t overly optimistic but it revived the expectation that a rate cut could come sooner rather than later.
In the first day of his semiannual testimony before Senators, Powell said – for the first time in three years – that inflation is no longer the only threat to the US economy but the cooling jobs market also is. Although he didn’t want to offer a clear timeline when asked when the Fed would lower interest rates, Powell said that the latest jobs report sent a ‘pretty clear signal’ of a cooler labor...

Most European indices including the British big caps closed Monday’s session in the negative. The French CAC 40 underperformed its peers but the French yields ease, the yield spread with Germany narrowed and the euro was bid. We could see the EURUSD gain further positive momentum this week, especially if Federal Reserve (Fed) President Jerome Powell delivers a dovish speech before the congress between today and tomorrow, and the latest CPI update from the US comes in sufficiently soft.
The S&P500 and Nasdaq 100 hit fresh records yesterday and their journey is increasingly diverging from the economic data. The forecast...

The UK’s Labour Party is set to win a highly anticipated landslide victory in the general election. Cable is upbeat near 1.2770 and the FTSE futures are pointing at a positive start to the session.
In France, the situation looks better from a market perspective, as well. The latest polls suggest that Marine Le Pen’s National Rally could fall ‘well short’ of a majority at this weekend’s second and final tour of legislative elections. Investors are now in a hurry to return to French assets and the euro at discounted prices not to miss the post-election rally next Monday, the...

Yesterday soft data from the US fueled the Fed doves yesterday. The latest ADP report showed that the US economy added 150’000 new private jobs in June, less than expected by analysts and slightly less than last month, initial jobless claims rose, the factory orders unexpectedly fell in May and the ISM services unexpectedly contracted in June, the employment component plunged while prices fell more than expected. As such, investors saw in the data the evidence that the Fed is looking for to cut its rates. US yields and the USD fell and major US indices refreshed record before July...

While the market is going sideways, a new report has dropped showing how Polkadot is spending their money. And it's questionable and should make for some good discussions, let's do it!

Federal Reserve (Fed) President Jerome Powell said that the Fed has made ‘quite a bit of progress’ on inflation and investors didn’t need more to jump back on the back of a bull. The S&P500 closed at a record high again, while Nasdaq 100 hit the 20’000 mark for the first time in history.
Tesla shares jumped 10% yesterday after the company reported a smaller decline in quarterly sales than expected.
On the data front, US job openings rose along with economic optimism but job openings in the private sector for example rose only 42K after falling nearly 500K in...

The week started on a positive note but the positive vibes will likely leave their place to the chatter of scenarios regarding how the French will prevent Marine Le Pen from gaining a majority in the parliament in the second round of the legislative election this weekend. The euro and European equities are lower on Tuesday morning after early week rally. Eyes on Eurozone inflation data.
In the US, soft data didn’t prevent US bonds from falling as Trump win expectations lead to a steepening of the curve.
In the UK, Cable remains under pressure ahead of Thursday’s general election...
