Summary:  Central Banks today - FX Ignores Powell


Good Morning,

Powell`s continued hawkishness weighed on markets yesterday and continuing through the night, stocks as well as precious metals are falling and Silver is down 5.6% on the week. Gold is holding up better at a minus of 0.6%. Bitcoin surged to above 30k again not least on Powell stating it was here to stay.

Big Tech also had a negative day with Tesla -5.5%, Apple -0.6%, Nvidia -1.7%and Microsoft -1.3%.

Opposed to precious metals and stocks, rates are relatively stable an the USD weak at 102.10, EURUSD 1.0980, GBPUSD 1.2750 and USDJPY 141.80. 2 Year US Rates are relatively stable at 4.73%.

This a-synchronicity seems a bit overdone and makes for likely interesting moves – Watch out

 Today, focus will be on the 4 central Bank decisions

  • The Swiss National Bank with 65% in favor of 50 basis point hike and 35% for 25 basis points at 9:30
  • The Norwegian Central Bank is expected to hike 25 BPS at 10:00 CET
  • BOE: 52% for a 25 BPS hike, 48% in favor of 50 basis points at 13:00
  • Turkish Central Bank at 13:00

That aside we are awaiting a second day  of Testimony by Powell at 16:00 and the usual labor market data at 14:30. Everyone with an eye on AI technology should watch the Accenture earnings!
