Market Drivers:
Markets regained early losses and struggled for direction ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech later today.
Markets will be closely watching Powell’s speech for direction regarding the Fed’s next steps with respect to rate hikes. Markets are expecting confirmation of a slowdown in hikes from 75 basis points to 50 basis points. The Fed rate hike decision will be determined at the FOMC meeting on the 14 December.
US economic data gave mixed signals today as the backwards-looking US GDP data for Q3 2022 was revised higher to 2.9% from 2.6% previously. However, the job openings for October fell to 10.3 million, from 10.7 in September. The jobs data suggests the rate hikes are taking effect and could give the Fed room ease.
Elsewhere the global yield curve inverted today, sending an increased signal that a recession is likely.
