So, that is helping to cushion the blow of\u00a0the impact on global supplies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">Meanwhile, 10-year Treasury yields are coming off the boil in falling slightly to 4.975% as traders continue to digest the Fed and overall inflation outlook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">Despite that, oil prices are still keeping above $100 and bond yields are still hovering near 5%. So, this is not the time for markets to be complacent as the better risk mood we&#8217;re seeing looks more closely tied to a relief bounce rather than a risk-on turn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">The dollar is also trading just a little lower on the day with USD\/JPY falling back below the 156 level. The pound is the laggard after the BOE moved to keep the bank rate unchanged at 3.75%, with a 6-3 vote seen as expected. Pill, Mann, and Greene were the only policymakers to dissent in favouring a rate hike to 4% today. GBP\/USD fell from 1.3405 to 1.3360 on repositioning flows, with traders having priced in roughly 30% odds of a rate hike for today coming into the decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">In the equities space, European stocks are gaining modest ground while US futures are also pushing higher as investors are buying into the post-Fed relief for now. We&#8217;re also seeing gold push up by 1.4% to $4,323 as traders are hoping to catch a stronger bounce in the second half of the week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">With the Fed now out of the way, the focus turns back to the bond market in assessing whether yields have the appetite to keep chasing a break to the upside this week.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headlines: BOE leaves bank rate unchanged at 3.75% in 6-3 vote Long-end Treasury yields stay calm as markets digest the Fed Was the Fed really that hawkish or the market just overreacted?&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-438306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438306\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
