US Close: Powell ready for super sized hikes, Inversion focus as bonds selloff, Boeing 737 plane crashed in Southern China, Oil rises as calls for EU to ban Russian energy grow, Gold sideways as yields surge, Bitcoin holds $41k
US stocks had an uninspiring start to the trading week after Fed Chair Powell delivered another round of hawkish comments and as commodity prices surged on growing expectations the EU could consider an oil embargo on Russia this week.  The harsh reality of faster rate rises is setting in for some traders and that could eventually lead to a taper tantrum which might happen alongside stagflation.  Monetary policy is still accommodative for now, but that could quickly change if the Fed delivers a c

Market Insights Podcast (Episode 309)
Jonny Hart speaks to APAC Senior Market Analyst Jeffrey Halley about news impacting the market and the week ahead.   This week we start with a roundup of price action in Asia where China held its prime lending rates unchanged, which was surprising, given how aggressively they had talked up the stockmarket and stimulus last week. Oil is never far from everyone's lips, and Asia, once again, has bought black gold aggressively today.

Week Ahead - Accelerated tightening
The global economy is facing an incredible amount of uncertainty at the moment which is continuing to drive the volatility we're seeing in financial markets. Whether it's uncertainty around inflation, interest rates, commodity prices, Covid or Ukraine, the growth outlook has become extremely unclear and is constantly subject to significant revisions.

Mid-Market Update: Stocks fluctuate awaiting geopolitical updates, Hawkish Fed Speak
The end of another long week has Wall Street bracing for another rollercoaster ride as investors digest President Biden’s crucial call with Xi and await to see if any possible pathways emerge for ending the conflict in Ukraine, all while roughly $3.5 trillion of single-stock and index-level options expire.  The days of seeing all the sectors in S&P 500 being green appear to be long gone. It could be a choppy ride as investors continue to rotate out of financials as the Treasury curve flattener t

Fed React: Powell is finally ready to take on inflation, Retail Sales revisions, Oil lower, Gold tumbles, Bitcoin higher
US stocks went on a rollercoaster ride after a hawkish FOMC statement initially sent risky assets lower, but then turned positive after Fed Chair Powell tentatively convinced markets they will not be too late with fighting inflation. Much of today went as expected with the Fed raising rates by 25 basis points and addressing how the war in Ukraine is driving additional inflationary pressures. The Fed’s 2022 forecast for inflation was raised from 2.6% to 4.3%.

Stocks sink as high-level talks disappoint, inflation at highest in 40 years, ECB to end QE sooner, bitcoin falls
US stocks declined after both high-level talks did not produce a stop in fighting and as investors worry that war in Ukraine could lead to higher inflation for much longer.  Today’s inflation report showed widespread pricing pressures before the full impact of the global shock from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Energy costs, soft commodities, and metals will continue to see upward pressure and that will start to be sticky as wages soften.

Week Ahead - Enormous uncertainty
It's been another week of significant volatility in financial markets, one in which European indices edged closer to bear market territory, oil prices hit a 10-year high around $120, and safe-haven gold came close to $2,000.

NFP React: Investors shrug off strong payrolls and focus on War in Ukraine and inflation, Strong Payroll gain but soft wages
US stocks might be less exposed to the war in Ukraine, but the hit to global growth and inflation impact can and will eventually drag down the US economy.  Equities declined after Russia seized Europe's largest nuclear plant. It does not seem like the Kremlin will be backing down anytime soon and that is leading to widespread selling of global equities.  In the past 24 hours, financial markets went from hoping of talks of a potential ceasefire to seeing the Russians seize a nuclear plant, which

US Close -Stocks edge lower, ISM Services Index disappoints, No surprises from Day 2 of Powell
US stocks went on a bumpy ride as investors continue to trade off every incremental update with the Ukraine-Russia conflict and following a wrath of mixed US economic data. Stocks were under pressure early after a French official said President Macron’s conversation with Vladimir Putin did not provide any reason to be optimistic that we could see a de-escalation/ceasefire.

Commodities and Cryptos Shine as risk aversion hits Wall Street: Oil surges, Gold and Bitcoin rally
Oil Energy traders shrugged off the EIA announcement that 60-million barrels of crude will be released.  Crude prices can’t stop going higher as a very tight oil market will likely see further risk to supplies as the War in Ukraine unfolds.  Expectations for a revival of the Iran nuclear deal have come down a bit as talks still have a few key issues.  Brent crude could surge to the $120 level if the oil market starts to think it is likely that sanctions will be placed on Russian energy. Normal

US Close- Surging oil prices drive growth concerns and sink stocks, ISM impresses, Yields drop, Yen Stronger
US stocks tumbled as investors struggle to go long risk as the Russia-Ukraine crisis intensifies and as surging oil prices threaten economic growth prospects.  Wall Street is hitting the ‘sell button’ on everything except for energy stocks. Traders are trying to reduce their exposure to anything that has exposure to Russia and some are getting concerned that a prolonged economic slowdown is here.

Equities stage “peak-Ukraine” rally
US equities staged an impressive rally overnight, wiping out the earlier day's losses and rallying to finish strongly in the green. Positive US data played its parts, but mostly it appears to be a relief rally sparked by the announcement of the scope of US sanctions on Russia.

US Close: US Stocks eke out a gain, Fed Minutes, Strong Retail Sales Rebound
US stocks erased earlier losses and eked out a gain after the Fed Minutes showed policymakers were not any closer to signaling aggressive policy tightening.  Risk aversion returned as geopolitical tensions remained the focal point as no confirmation happened with a de-escalation with Russia-Ukraine concerns. The Fed Minutes were less hawkish than many expected and that helped risk appetite return a little.

US Close: Wall Street rattled on reports US expects Russia to invade Ukraine next week. Yen, Oil, and Gold pop higher, while Stocks, yields, and Bitcoin drop
Wall Street has an inflation hangover as higher rates continue to drag tech stocks down.  US stocks were trying to stabilize as yields came in. Yesterday’s inflation shocker has many bond traders believing the Fed is behind the curve and will be delivering several rate hikes.  Many Fed members feel inflation will meaningfully decelerate later this year and that is why calls for seven rate hikes might be too aggressive. US stocks were supposed to have a period of calm this afternoon as Treasury

US Close: Slow Start for Stocks, Lagarde pushes back, Oil rally pauses, Gold rallies, Bitcoin momo is back
US stocks will struggle for direction until the latest inflation tilts market’s expectations as to how aggressive the Fed will tighten into what is still deemed as an overvalued stock market.  Wall Street saw early selling pressure for tech stocks as investors still digest a wrath of disappointing outlooks and surging borrowing costs. Technology stocks are no longer a one-way trade as investors cut losses and now focus on valuations, competition, and long-term outlooks. FX Financial markets are
