Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is speaking at the European Central Bank (ECB) Forum on Central Banking in Sintra, Portugal on Tuesday, stating the US Fed has "made quite a bit of progress" on tamping inflation down to its 2% target.
The Morning Brief welcomes on Marketgauge.com chief strategist Michele Schneider, who believes the market (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) is moving in-line with Powell’s comments and the Fed’s overall interest rate policy.
"Essentially there’s a there’s a double-edged sword when it comes to these yields. You want the yields not to get too soft in essence because, to date, we’ve actually had the S&P 500 outperform the long bonds," Schneider says on Treasury yields (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX). "And the junk bonds relationship to the long bonds is also important because they have really been more on a risk on. So even though the yields pinch and certainly pinch areas that are very interest rate sensitive… It’s also really giving confidence."
Schneider also comments on Nvidia (NVDA) in the semiconductor industry and various commodities.
