Moving Markets

US equities ended an eight-day winning streak on the back of a weak US Treasury bond sale and a more hawkish than expected speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. A cyber-attack forced the US unit of a Chinese bank to send the settlement of Treasuries in physical form to the counterparty. Siemens Energy is still negotiating for critical support as it faces a huge loss. Crypto assets rally on hopes of the approval of a spot bitcoin ETF in the US. Tim Gagie, Head of FX & PM Solutions Geneva, notes that FX markets are at the crossroads of many conflicting currents, but that USD weakness is still on the cards.
