16.07.2024 12:34:33 - dpa-AFX: Dovish Fed Hints Buoy Market Sentiment
CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - Dovish hints from Fed Chair Jerome Powell on Monday that
reinforced hopes of a Fed rate cut in September influenced market sentiment
worldwide. Fresh corporate earnings updates as well as the political
developments in the U.S. also influenced market movements.

The expected flat reading is seen adding to the Fed's confidence in steadily
declining inflation.
Wall Street Futures are trading in positive territory. European benchmarks are
trading lower amidst a worsening in German investor morale. Asian stock indexes
finished trading on a mixed note.
Dollar Index edged up. Bond yields mostly eased as rate cut hopes firmed up.
Demand concerns dragged down crude oil prices. Dovish comments by the Fed Chair
lifted prices of the yellow metal. Cryptocurrencies firmed up.
