|
S&P 500 sprang to life on the first dovish Fed speaker‘s remark it could, yet the full array of speakers dialed the message back ultimately – and correctly so, for the bond market is getting ahead in rate cut expectations, with corporate bonds flying, financial conditions easing, and risk-on turn continuing. It can be seen pretty well in the run up to GDP today – and core PCE tomorrow.

Please note how this ties in with the 102.30 USD Index support. Given the figure indeed coming above expectations, the buyers will get on strategic defensive later today.
