Market News
- Wall Street rallied on Friday, pushing the S&P and the Nasdaq to record closing highs for the fourth time this week, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium calmed fears over the tapering timetable and sent investors into the weekend in a buying mood.
- Powell stopped short of providing a clearer picture regarding the timing of the central bank’s tapering of asset purchases or hiking interest rates, the key elements of its dovish monetary policy aimed at helping the economy recover from the pandemic recession.
- Economic data released on Friday delivered, in large part, precisely what economists expected – a pullback in consumer spending and sentiment due to the COVID-19 Delta variant, and signs that the current wave of price spikes will not morph into long term inflation, in line with Fed assurances.
Market Views
- Asia Pacific stocks were mixed on Monday morning over on U.S. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish speech to withdraw stimulus measures cautiously and gradually. Hang Seng index fell 16 points while Nikkei 225 index rose 77 points.
- Oil prices pared early gains on Monday, off more than three-week highs reached earlier in the session as a powerful hurricane ploughing through the Gulf of Mexico forced shutdowns and evacuations of hundreds of offshore oil platforms.
