Strong quarter results from US banks spark optimism in US equity market.

Strong quarterly results from Wall Street banks, Microsoft, and other major corporations fueled the US equity market’s upward momentum, while lacklustre economic data led to a dip in US treasury yields, signalling expectations of a more cautious stance by the Federal Reserve. The gold market experienced a significant surge as investors sought the safe-haven asset amid economic uncertainty and a weakening US Dollar. Oil prices rebounded on speculations of a potential pause in the Fed’s tightening cycle and OPEC production cuts, although gains were tempered by disappointing inventory data. Additionally, the New Zealand Dollar strengthened following positive inflation data, suggesting that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand may maintain its tightening monetary policy.
