Markets:
EUR leads, NZD lags on the dayEuropean equities higher; S&P 500 futures up 0.3%US 10-year yields up 3.5 bps to 4.420%Gold flat at $2,644.48WTI crude up 0.9% to $70.68Bitcoin down 1.5% to $104,842The dollar kept steadier across the board, seeing limited movement against the major currencies bloc. The antipodes were already weaker since Asia and kept at the lows with AUD/USD down to its lowest levels since October last year while NZD/USD is down to its lowest since October 2022. The downside action didn't extend all too much though as traders are content with waiting on the Fed before taking things any further.
In the equities space, we're seeing a steadier mood but it's still early in the day. US futures are up but then again, they have been showing signs of early optimism through the week only to be dashed when Wall Street enters the fray. Today, there's the Fed to contend with as well.
The FOMC meeting decision is arguably the final key risk event for broader markets, so don't discount the potential repercussions that may follow as the year winds down after.
