Markets digested the contraction in GDP as well as the decline in inflation in the Euro Area as well as the contraction in China’s manufacturing PMI. Uncertainty ahead of the monetary policy review of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England also lingered. <\/p>\n
Wall Street Futures are trading on a positive note. European benchmarks mostly gained. Asian stocks however finished on a mixed note amidst relief over a largely accommodative stance by the Bank of Japan and disappointment over weak data from China. <\/p>\n
Dollar Index edged lower. Bond yields mostly eased taking cues from the decline in U.S. bond yields following the U.S. government announcing a reduced borrowing requirement. Renewed supply concerns eclipsed worries over weak manufacturing PMI data from China, lifting crude oil prices. Gold prices stayed close to the flatline as geopolitical concerns and monetary policy fears lingered. Cryptocurrencies are moving mixed. <\/p>\n
