Macro Report

USD strength persisted carried through from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell’s comments yesterday. US rates continued to surge higher whilst the equities markets(NASDAQ down 1.2% and S&P500 down 0.4% ast the time of writing) continued their slide as market is embracing the notion that the Fed may need to hike 50bp in March and the reduction of the Reserve’s balance sheet may be more aggressive than expected. Commodities also took a hit with oil down 0.3% whilst gold dropped 2%.

Despite signs that the Russian and Ukrainian may deescalate in an orderly manner, with Reuters reporting that Russian troops would leave Belarus once the military exercises are finished. This was not enough for a risk rally to return to the market as rhetoric between the US, Russia and NATO continue.
