15th November 2018 - Powell sees The
equities volatility is just one factor of many
The continued US equities indexes
slide could weigh down in the sentiment in the Asian session, After the Fed
spurred further selling by showing continued unfazing of the market volatility.
While the oil prices massive selling
is still weighing down on the energy sectors shares across the globe on output
glut and increasing worries about the global recovery amid the trade tensions
and the current Fed's monetary tightening pace which is looking to continue
ahead eroding the demand for energy and boosting the greenback.
As The Fed's chairman Jerome Powel who
has not made a press conference following last week FOMC meeting as scheduled
came out finally yesterday to figure out that "equity volatility is only
one of many factors that the Fed takes into account".
Powell who repeated this sentence
several times during his speech assured on the importance of tightening the
Fed's balance sheet which started nearly a year earlier to weigh down on UST
prices.
Powell comments came to be in line
with San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly who indicated Monday that she isn’t
worried about recent declines in stocks.
She figured out also that Equities
valuations became higher than what could be supported and the correction is
something she sees positive.
The Fed has not praised or welcomed
the Equities volatility, but its stance still showing that it knows that this
volatility is worrying but it can be important for equities the investors
who need to be selective relying on the shares fundamentals, when they are to
take their decisions next specially after the Fed ended its accommodative
stance getting into neutral stance.
Powell's could not add strength to USD
or send UST yield up, as the risk aversion sentiment could contain the market
weighing down on the borrowing cost in the secondary money market.
The gold could be an attractive option
to the safe haven seekers and it is trading again close to $1210 per ounce,
after diving below $1200 psychological level last Tuesday.
While GBP and EUR could regain support
versus the greenback, after the markets have support from U.K. Prime Minister
Theresa May's conservative cabinet and also from EU to the deal draft which
could avoid dividing Ireland and putting materialized boarder between its 2
divisions.
However it is still widely expected to
see this draft ending to house of common disapproval can lead to another early
parliament elections or even another Brexit referendum, After more than 2 years
of negotiations between the European Commission and May’s Conservative party.
Yes, she could secure backing from her
Cabinet which was about to face wave of resignations following of Minister for
Transport Joseph Edmund Johnson.
But she could not gather her party on
this reached draft which is looking to some from her party a half unacceptable
deal or no deal, while the labor party can get use of this current mixed stance
to gain more ground.
