CLAIM OFFERHere is what you need to know on Friday, February 17:
Equity markets remained on the defensive after yet more hawkish data and central bank comments on Thursday. Bond yields continued to push higher and have now ticked up nearly 50 basis points in the past two weeks. Equity markets up here as a result look very rich. Little in the way of economic data appears on Friday, but a few Fed speakers will make an entrance. Hawkish rhetoric is likely to continue meaning risk assets are likely to fall and the US Dollar remain supported ahead of the long weekend.
The US Dollar is up to 104.40 for the Dollar Index, Gold is lower to $1,827, and Oil down to $76.38.
European markets are lower, CAC -0.2%, Dax -0.7%, FTSE -0.2% and Eurostoxx -0.7%.
US futures also lower, Nasdaq -0.7%, Dow and S&P both -0.4%.
Wall Street top news

DoorDash (DASH) up 5% on strong earnings.
Redfin (RDFN) down on revenue forecasts.

Applied Materials (AMAT) provides earnings beat and strong guidance.
Vale (VALE) profits drops 30% on weak iron-ore prices, still beats estimates.
