Market Focus

Major indices rebounded on Tuesday following a major sell- out in the technology- centered market in the previous session. The Dow Jones rebounded 0.92%. The S&P500 climbed 1.05% while the Nasdaq rallied 1.25%, led by advances in mega- cap technology companies. However, the 10- year yield surged to 1.53%. Investors awaited the latest job data later this week, following the signal on the Federal Reserve’s next move.

The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the economy would fall into a recession if Congress ends up failing to raise the debt ceiling before a default on the US debt. In the meanwhile, President Biden also calls on Congress to raise the ceiling this week in order to avoid the catastrophe to not pay the government’s bill. While the US has never failed to pay the bills on time, a default will have a high possibility to result in a jump in interest rates and a damage in Washington’s ability to fulfill its future obligations on time.

Oil price continues to surge, hitting multi- year highs as OPEC+ sticks to its original output plan. Early this week, OPEC+ agreed to adhere to its pact in July, rather than raising the output in the further. As a result, the fuel market is likely to be undersupplied for the next couple of months.

The Japanese Yen is testing its downside a US stocks recovered and the US yields climbed as investors conern over inflation. USDJPY is trading above 111.00 level with eye on 112 region, where selling pressure is also prone to emerge.

GBPUSD climbed higher, approaching 1.3650. After dipping last week, the pound rebounded as the markets seem to have shifted the focus from the fuel shortage to the impact of the Bank of England, whether it will lead the major central banks on hiking rates.

Gold declined, trading at $1759 as the Treasury yields edged higher after US data from last week boosted optimism about the economic recovery. In the meanwhile, the decline in gold also came from the dollar rebound, pressuring bullion, which did not earn interest.
