_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 04 ott - Apertura in leggero rialzo a Wall Street, dopo il pesante sell-off di ieri causato dall'aumento dei rendimenti dei titoli del Tesoro, con quelli del decennale e del trentennale saliti ai massimi dal 2007. I future, gia' in lieve rialzo, hanno ricevuto una spinta dal debole rapporto Adp sull'occupazione nel settore privato, che ha registrato il dato piu' basso dal gennaio 2021, spingendo in ribasso i rendimenti dei Treasury. Il dato contraddice la robustezza evidenziata ieri dal rapporto Jolts sulle offerte di lavoro, che aveva spinto al ribasso gli indici. Ieri, il Dow Jones e' passato in negativo per il 2023, mentre S&P 500 e Nasdaq Composite restano ancora in deciso rialzo. Gli indici sono reduci dal mese peggiore dell'anno e da un trimestre difficile, a causa soprattutto della volonta' della Federal Reserve, prima della fine dell'anno, di alzare ancora i tassi d'interesse, che potrebbero restare elevati piu' a lungo del previsto per combattere l'inflazione. A confermarlo, negli ultimi due giorni, sono stati il vicepresidente Michael Barr e i presidenti delle Fed di Cleveland e Atlanta, Loretta Mester e Raphael Bostic. Ora, secondo l'indice del Cme Group, c'e' il 22,8% di possibilita' che la Fed alzi i tassi il primo novembre e il 34,1% di possibilita' che lo faccia a dicembre. Dopo i primi minuti di scambi, il Dow Jones sale di 57,74 punti (+0,17%), lo S&P 500 e' in rialzo di 7,90 punti (+0,19%), il Nasdaq guadagna 36,39 punti (+0,28%)."_

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 20 set - Apertura in lieve rialzo a Wall Street, grazie al calo del prezzo del petrolio e dei rendimenti dei titoli del Tesoro, arrivati ieri ai massimi dal 2007. Gli investitori attendono le decisioni e le previsioni sui tassi d'interesse da parte della Federal Reserve, stasera, al termine della riunione iniziata ieri. E' indubbio, ormai (99%), che la Banca centrale statunitense manterra' i tassi al 5,25%-5,5%, il livello piu' alto degli ultimi 22 anni, facendo registrare la seconda pausa dal marzo 2022 nella battaglia contro l'inflazione. Secondo il FedWatch Tool di Cme Group, sono poi diminuite al 26,3% le possibilita' che la Federal Reserve aumenti i tassi d'interesse alla riunione successiva, il primo novembre. Sara' anche presentata la sintesi delle proiezioni economiche ('Summary of Economic Projections'), compreso il 'dot plot', che rivelera' le aspettative sui tassi dei componenti del direttivo. Il rialzo del prezzo del petrolio, +11% nelle ultime tre settimane, potrebbe complicare la lotta delle Banche centrali contro l'inflazione. Domani, poi, e' attesa la decisione sui tassi d'interesse della Bank of England, seguita da quella della Banca del Giappone il giorno dopo. Dopo i primi minuti di scambi, il Dow Jones sale di 84,18 punti (+0,24%), lo S&P 500 guadagna 10,75 punti (+0,24%), il Nasdaq e' in rialzo di 29,90 punti (+0,22%)."_

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - Milano, 08 set - Riescono nel recupero le Borse europee dopo una settimana di ribassi dovuti alle preoccupazioni che arrivano da piu' fronti: Piazza Affari, a lungo in calo, ha chiuso le contrattazioni a +0,28%, Parigi e' stata la migliore insieme a Londra con un incremento di mezzo punto percentuale. Piatte Francoforte e Amsterdam. Tra i settori migliori ci sono viaggi e media, buona performance anche delle utilities. Alla base della cautela degli operatori, a una settimana dal nuovo meeting della Bce sulla politica monetaria, ci sono diversi elementi: i timori di recessione dopo le indicazioni arrivate martedi' dal settore dei servizi in Europa e in Cina, dove l'attivita' ha segnato ad agosto i livelli minimi da otto mesi; l'aumento dei prezzi del petrolio, dopo la decisione di Arabia Saudita e Russia di prolungare i tagli alla produzione fino a fine anno; le ricadute degli aumenti dell'energia sulle decisioni delle banche centrali a cominciare dalla Federal Reserve americana. I listini fanno dunque i conti anche con le ipotesi di un ennesimo rialzo dei tassi da parte della Fed a novembre, probabilita' che e' oggi al 37,2%, in rialzo di quasi 4 punti percentuali rispetto a una settimana fa, secondo il Cme Group. Per diversi analisti, c'e' il 93% di probabilita' che tra due settimane, invece, i tassi siano mantenuti all'attuale livello. A Piazza Affari domina Saipem (+4,85%), che prima dell'apertura dei mercati ha annunciato di essersi aggiudicata due nuove commesse per attivita' offshore in Costa D'Avorio e in Italia, per un valore complessivo di 850 milioni di euro, portando gli analisti ad essere fiduciosi che la raccolta ordini 2023 possa superare il risultato dell'anno scorso. Prosegue il tonfo di Fineco (+1,76%%), all'indomani dei dati sulla raccolta, che scivola in fondo al listino principale. Tra le banche in recupero Mps (+2,1%) dopo una settimana sotto pressione per le ipotesi di una cessione di parte della quota del Tesoro, primo azionista di Siena. In controtendenza Mediobanca (-0,7%) sul confronto in atto con il socio Delfin in vista del rinnovo del cda."_

Gli indici si avviano ad archiviare negativamente la settimana - corta, vista la chiusura di lunedi' per la festa del Lavoro - a causa dei rinnovati timori su altri rialzi dei tassi d'interesse da parte della Federal Reserve, visti la forza dei dati economici e del prezzo del petrolio, che mercoledi' ha toccato i massimi da novembre a causa della decisione di Arabia Saudita e Russia di estendere i tagli alla produzione. Ora, la probabilita' che la Fed alzi i tassi d'interesse di 25 punti, a novembre, e' al 37,2%, in rialzo di quasi 4 punti percentuali rispetto a una settimana fa, secondo il Cme Group.

By Amruta Khandekar and Shristi Achar A (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and Dow rose on Wednesday as Target results lifted the retail sector, while investors awaited minutes of the Federal Reserve's July policy meeting for cues on the bank's interest rate path. Shares of Target jumped 6.3% after the big-box retailer's second-quarter profit beat outweighed its annual forecast cut. Bigger rival Walmart (NYSE:WMT), which is scheduled to report results on Thursday, rose 0.5%, while department stores Macy's (NYSE:M) and Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) gained 2.1% and 0.7%, respectively. Home Depot (NYSE:HD) rose 1.2%. The S&P 500 consumer staples index added 0.4%, while energy firms rose 0.5% as Chevron (NYSE:CVX) gained 1.3% after Mizuho upgraded its rating. Equities have been going through a rough patch in August, with the S&P 500 languishing at a more than one-month low as data underscoring sticky inflation and a robust economy has fanned fears of interest rates staying elevated for longer. While investors largely expect the Fed's monetary tightening to be nearing its end, worries linger the central bank could hold rates at the current level for longer. Traders' bets of a rate hike pause in September stand at nearly 91%, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. The Federal Reserve's July 25-26 meeting minutes are due at 1400 ET (1800 GMT). The central bank had raised rates by 25 basis points at the end of the meeting. "Investors are expecting that the Fed's tone will remain fairly hawkish within those minutes," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research. "Our economists believe that rates will be cut in the beginning of 2024, but the worry is that maybe the Fed will keep rates higher for longer in order to ensure that inflation is coming down." Investors also digested stronger-than-expected industrial production data for July which drove yields on the 10-year Treasury note to session highs of 4.235%. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) edged up 0.5% after Piper Sandler became the latest Wall Street brokerage to raise its price target on the stock ahead of the chip designer's earnings next week. Keeping the Nasdaq under pressure, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) slid 0.4% after the electric-car maker cut prices for its premium Model S and Model X cars in China by more than 6%. At 9:55 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 137.92 points, or 0.39%, at 35,084.31, the S&P 500 was up 5.03 points, or 0.11%, at 4,442.89, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 29.36 points, or 0.22%, at 13,601.68. Among other stocks, U.S.-listed shares of Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ:TSEM) dropped 8.8%, after Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) terminated its plans to acquire the Israeli contract chipmaker. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) gained 2.5% as it secured regulatory approval to offer cryptocurrency futures to U.S. retail customers. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.53-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.03-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded three new 52-week highs and 10 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 20 new highs and 92 new lows.

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 26 lug - Apre in leggero ribasso la seduta a Wall Street in attesa del prossimo aumento dei tassi da parte della Federal Reserve, che sara' annunciato alle 20 italiane a chiusura dell'incontro di due giorni del Fomc, il braccio di politica monetaria della Banca centrale. E' l'undicesima volta dall'inizio del 2022 che la Fed alza i tassi e la crescita economica troppo solida degli ultimi mesi non rende scontato il fatto che questo ritocco sara' anche l'ultimo. I mercati valutano con una probabilita' del 98,9% che oggi la Fed alzera' i tassi di interesse di 25 punti base in un intervallo compreso tra il 5,25% e il 5,50%, secondo CME FedWatch; mentre su futuri rialzi le probabilita' scendo intorno al 30%.

By Shristi Achar A and Sruthi Shankar (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes rose on Monday as investors awaited inflation data and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision this week, while Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL) hit a record high ahead of its quarterly results later in the day. The U.S. Labor Department's consumer price index reading on Tuesday, also the first day of the Fed's meeting, is expected to show inflation cooled slightly in May but core prices are likely to have remained elevated. Traders see a 74% chance of the central bank holding interest rates at the 5%-5.25% range on Wednesday, while pricing in a 51% chance of a 25-basis-point increase in July, according to the CME Fedwatch tool. "The Fed is continuing to walk this very fine line between are we going to tighten too much and drive the economy into a recession or are we not going to tighten enough and keep inflation high," said Melissa Brown, global head of applied research at Qontigo. "Until we see several months of low or declining inflation, the headline number is still going to be above the 2% target that the Fed has set. The market does seem to think that rates are going to stay stable." The benchmark S&P 500 notched gains for a fourth straight week on Friday, building on a 20% rise from its October 2022 lows, heralding the start of a new bull market as defined by some market participants. A rally in megacap stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and hopes that the Fed might be nearing the end of its tightening cycle have lifted indexes in recent weeks. Since last week, the rally has broadened beyond megacaps to include more economically sensitive sectors such as energy and industrials, and also small-cap stocks as data continues to show a resilient U.S. economy despite higher interest rates. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) on Friday raised its year-end price target for the benchmark S&P 500 to 4,500 from 4,000, citing the broadening of the market rally. The CBOE volatility index edged up after hitting pre-pandemic levels in the previous week, up 0.89 point to 14.72. Oracle advanced 4.3%, hitting an all-time high as J.P. Morgan hiked its price target to $109, ahead of the cloud and enterprise software firm's fourth-quarter results later in the day. Technology stocks led gains among the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500 while energy stocks fell 0.5%, tracking a decline in crude prices. [O/R] At 9:43 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 115.88 points, or 0.34%, at 33,992.66, the S&P 500 was up 12.75 points, or 0.30%, at 4,311.61, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 62.98 points, or 0.47%, at 13,322.12. Nasdaq Inc slumped 9.8% after the exchange operator said it would buy Thoma Bravo-owned software firm Adenza for $10.5 billion. Biogen (NASDAQ:BIIB) shares edged up 1.0% after a U.S. FDA panel of advisers unanimously backed its Alzheimer's drug, Leqembi, raising hopes that a traditional approval for the treatment might not come with major new safety warnings. Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) shares gained 1.6% after Jefferies increased the Photoshop maker's price target to $530, the second highest on Wall Street. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.13-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.58-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian shares slid on Thursday after a surprise interest rate hike by Bank of Canada brought back fears that U.S. rates could stay higher for longer and the Federal Reserve could remain hawkish when it meets next week. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.48%, while Japan's Nikkei fell 1%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index eased 0.29%. The downbeat mood looked set to continue in Europe, with the Eurostoxx 50 futures off 0.30%, German DAX futures losing 0.31% and FTSE futures 0.06% lower. Canada surprised markets on Wednesday by hiking its overnight rate to a 22-year high of 4.75%, with traders expecting another increase next month to cool an overheating economy and stubbornly high inflation. The Bank of Canada (BoC) had been on hold since January to assess the impact of previous hikes. The move from the BoC comes after Australia also stunned markets by hiking interest rates earlier this week. The Reserve Bank of Australia later warned of more rate hikes to temper rising pricing pressures. Tapas Strickland, head of market economics at NAB, said the steps from BoC and RBA highlight that central banks aren't done with the hiking cycle. "Next week's U.S. CPI will be pivotal for whether the Fed goes in June, or skips as widely telegraphed." Consumer inflation data on Tuesday is expected to show prices rose by 0.30% in May. Markets are now pricing in a 64% chance of the Fed standing pat next week, compared with 78% just a day earlier, the CME FedWatch tool showed. Traders are pricing in a 25 basis point hike in July. Economists polled by Reuters expect the Fed to not raise rates at its June 13-14 meeting, but a significant minority expects at least one more hike this year. More than 90% of economists, 78 of 86, polled during June 2-7 said the Federal Open Market Committee would hold its federal funds rate at 5.00%-5.25%. China shares eased 0.12%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 0.57%. Data on Wednesday showed May exports in China slumped 7.5% year-on-year, the biggest decline since January and far below the 0.4% decline analysts expected. "The weak export numbers will have observers looking for a new round of policy stimulus," Saxo Markets strategists said. Treasury yields were stable in early Asian hours after surging overnight after the move from Canada's central bank. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes was up 1.1 basis points to 3.795%, while the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond was up 0.5 basis points to 3.947%. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was up 1.7 basis points at 4.567%. In the currency market, the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six major peers, eased 0.038%, with the euro up 0.09% to $1.0707. The yen strengthened 0.22% to 139.80 per dollar after revised data showed Japan's economy grew more than initially thought in January-March. The Canadian dollar rose 0.08% to 1.34 per dollar, while Turkey's lira hit a record low against the dollar as the newly re-elected government appeared to loosen stabilising measures after signalling a pivot to more orthodox policies. U.S. crude futures fell 0.22% to $72.37 per barrel and Brent was at $76.76, down 0.25% on the day.

By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian stocks jumped on Friday on increasing expectations that the Federal Reserve might stand still on rates and after the U.S. Senate passed legislation lifting the government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, avoiding a catastrophic default. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan surged 2% and was on course for its biggest one-day percentage gain since early January. The exuberant mood looked set to continue in Europe, with Eurostoxx 50 futures up 0.45%, German DAX futures up 0.49% and FTSE futures 0.18% higher. E-mini futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.20%. The Senate voted 63-36 to approve the bill that was passed on Wednesday by the House of Representatives, as lawmakers raced against the clock to avert what would have been a first-ever default. The Treasury Department had warned it would be unable to pay all its bills on June 5 if Congress failed to act. "I think it's a bit of relief but that's about it," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP (OTC:AMLTF) in Sydney. "I think it's now time for markets to move on to other things." Also lifting risk sentiment was changing expectations of the Fed's monetary policy, with traders steadily dialling back their bets on the central bank raising interest rates again this month. Markets are now pricing in a 20% chance of the central bank hiking by 25 basis points (bps) compared to a 50% chance a week earlier, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Data overnight showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits increased modestly last week and private employers hired more workers than expected in May, pointing to continued labour market tightness. "The market's focus is shifting to the economic front and Fed's decision on rates now," said Tina Teng, markets analysts at CMC Markets. The spotlight will be on the Labor Department's closely watched unemployment report for May, due later on Friday. The data will help determine whether the Fed sticks with its aggressive rate hikes. Dovish comments from Fed officials through the week have helped embolden Fed pause hopes, with Philadelphia Federal Reserve President Patrick Harker saying U.S. central bankers should not raise rates at their next meeting. "It's time to at least hit the stop button for one meeting and see how it goes," Harker said. AMP's Oliver said the prevailing sentiment now is that there will be a pause in June and that's helped markets. "If the payroll numbers are on the high side, it will cause the market to question whether there'll be a pause or not." China shares, which have been dragged lower in past few weeks by worries over a sputtering post-pandemic economic recovery, also surged. The Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.76% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index spiked 3.6% higher, set for its best day in three months. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.42%, while Japan's Nikkei was 1% higher, continuing its hot run. U.S. Treasury yields fell. In Asian hours, the two-year U.S. Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was up 0.8 bps at 4.349%, having slipped around 5 bps on Thursday. In the currency market, the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six major peers, was flat after dropping 0.6% overnight. The Japanese yen weakened 0.11% to 138.93 per dollar, while Sterling was last trading at $1.2527, up 0.02% on the day. The Aussie rose as much as 0.61% to $0.6613, its strongest since May 24. The primary driver was an announcement by Australia's independent wage-setting body that it would raise the minimum wage by 5.75% from July 1. The bullish sentiment helped push oil prices higher, with U.S. crude up 0.53% to $70.47 per barrel and Brent at $74.67, up 0.53% on the day. Markets are also weighing the likelihood of price-supportive OPEC+ production cuts over the weekend.

By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian shares rose on Friday and the dollar hung near a two-month peak as increased hopes of a deal over the U.S. debt ceiling and strong economic data lifted sentiment, while Japan's Nikkei jumped to highest in nearly 33 years. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.20% in choppy trading and was set to clock a gain of 0.6% for the week, its best run in over a month. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index rose 0.66%, while Japan's Nikkei continued its ascent, rising to its highest since August 1990, during the country's so-called bubble era. A series of strong corporate results, an economy that is showing signs of a revival and a renewed interest from foreign investors in the wake of increased investment by Warrant Buffett has boosted Nikkei, with the index soaring 18% in the year, far outperforming other major Asian markets. Investor attention has been firmly on the negotiations over U.S. debt ceiling and rising optimism that a deal could be reached soon sent U.S. shares higher overnight [.N]. E-mini futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.17% in Asian hours. Futures indicated European stocks were set to open higher, with Eurostoxx 50 futures up 0.44%, German DAX futures up 0.41% and FTSE futures up 0.23%. U.S. President Joe Biden and House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the top Republican in Washington, hope to finalise a deal on the debt ceiling after Biden returns from the Group of Seven meeting in Japan on Sunday. "What makes things more complicated this year is that the Democrats and Republicans are so wide apart from each other ... negotiations will take a long time because each one is trying to get something out of that negotiations," said Alexandre Tavazzi, head of CIO office and macro research for Pictet Wealth Management. In China, data this week showed the economy lost momentum at the beginning of the second quarter, stoking worries over the wobbly post-COVID-19 recovery. China's blue-chip CSI300 Index rose 0.20%, while the Shanghai Composite Index was up 0.13%, having reversed from earlier losses. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 1%, dragged down by tech stocks after Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) Group Holding Ltd reported a lower-than-expected 2% rise in quarterly revenue. The index is down 1.2% for the year. "It appears momentum from the reopening may have faded quicker than in other countries and further policy easing may be required," said Shane Oliver, chief economist at AMP (OTC:AMLTF). Meanwhile, data overnight showed fewer-than-expected Americans filed initial jobless claims last week, lowering odds the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates before year-end. Hawkish rhetoric from Fed speakers continued with Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard saying inflation was not cooling fast enough to allow the Fed to pause its interest-rate hike campaign. The Fed has lifted borrowing costs at each meeting since March 2022, bringing them from near zero to a 5.00-5.25% range as of early this month. Markets are now pricing in a 36% chance of a 25 basis point hike when the Fed meets next month, compared with 10% chance a week earlier, CME FedWatch tool showed. "It's still a difficult call, whether they need to hike again or not," said Robert St Clair, head of investment strategy at Fullerton Fund Management in Singapore. "There's encouraging signs for inflation across the board, but the one that is still quite sticky is the services inflation," he said. "Things are still going to be data driven." Investors will parse through comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell's panel discussion later in the day to gauge the path the central bank is likely to take. In the currency market, the yen strengthened 0.24% to 138.40 per dollar, but was hovering near the six-month low of 138.75 touched overnight. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar rose 0.029% and was wedged near a two-month high. The offshore yuan fell to 7.0677 per dollar, the weakest since Dec. 2. Analysts predict more weakness in the future and point to the Fed's policy as being the bigger driver than economic weakness at home. U.S. crude rose 0.65% to $72.33 per barrel and Brent was at $76.43, up 0.75% on the day. Spot gold added 0.3% to $1,963.59 an ounce.

CME GROUP: US TREASURY FUTURES OPEN INTEREST SURPASSES A RECORD OF 17 MLN CONTRACTS

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 10 mag - Apertura in rialzo a Wall Street, con l'inflazione annuale ai minimi degli ultimi due anni. Ad aprile, rispetto a un anno prima, i prezzi al consumo sono aumentati del 4,9% (dopo il 5% di marzo), il dato piu' basso dall'aprile 2021 e sotto il 5% previsto dagli esperti. L'inflazione di fondo ha mostrato un rallentamento modesto, dal 5,6% al 5,5%, in linea con le attese. Gli investitori guardano poi con preoccupazione allo stallo a Washington sull'aumento del tetto del debito. Ieri, l'incontro tra il presidente Joe Biden e i leader del Congresso non ha prodotto grossi passi avanti. Secondo il dipartimento del Tesoro, gli Stati Uniti potrebbero finire in default all'inizio di giugno. Dopo la decisione della Federal Reserve, la scorsa settimana, di alzare i tassi d'interesse di 25 punti base al 5%-5,25%, i trader danno ora un 14,2% di possibilita' a un nuovo rialzo al termine della prossima riunione, secondo i dati del FedWatch del Cme; due giorni fa, era al 9%; prima dei dati sull'inflazione, al 25,3%. 'Ci vorra' del tempo prima che l'inflazione torni al 2%', ha dichiarato ieri John Williams, presidente della Federal Reserve di New York, aggiungendo di non aspettarsi un'inflazione in linea con l'obiettivo della Banca centrale statunitense prima di due anni. Dopo i primi minuti di scambi, il Dow Jones guadagna 180,54 punti (+0,54%), lo S&P 500 sale di 30,72 punti (+0,75%), il Nasdaq e' in rialzo di 114,57 punti (+0,94%)."_

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 08 mag - Apertura piatta a Wall Street, con gli investitori che gia' guardano ai dati sull'inflazione, che saranno pubblicati mercoledi' (prezzi al consumo) e giovedi' (prezzi alla produzione). L'inflazione complessiva e' prevista in aumento dello 0,4% sul mese precedente e del 5% rispetto a un anno prima (come a marzo). L'inflazione di fondo dovrebbe mostrare un rallentamento modesto, dal 5,6% al 5,5%, prima di cali piu' marcati nei prossimi mesi, visto che i dati sul mercato immobiliare iniziano a riflettere il calo del costo degli affitti e delle compravendite di immobili. I prezzi alla produzione sono attesi in rialzo mensile dello 0,3%, dopo il -0,5% del mese precedente. Dopo la decisione della Federal Reserve, la scorsa settimana, di alzare i tassi d'interesse di 25 punti base, i trader danno ora solo un 9% di possibilita' di un nuovo rialzo al termine della prossima riunione, secondo i dati del FedWatch del Cme. Sull'azionario, in deciso rialzo i titoli delle banche regionali, guidati da quello di PacWest, che guadagna circa il 27% dopo aver annunciato il taglio dei dividendi. In positivo anche i titoli delle grandi banche, a partire da Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase e Morgan Stanley. Dopo i primi minuti di scambi, il Dow Jones guadagna 5,58 punti (+0,02%), lo S&P 500 sale di 1,27 punti (+0,03%), il Nasdaq e' in calo di 9,88 punti (-0,08%)."_

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 04 mag - Apre in ribasso la seduta a Wall Street alle prese con l'ultima decisione della Federal Reserve di aumentare i tassi di interesse di 25 punti, mentre i mercati sono guardinghi di fronte allo stress sempre crescente del settore bancario regionale con perdite superiori al 40% per alcuni istituti, nonostante ieri Jerome Powell abbia dichiarato che il settore e' 'sano e resiliente'. I mercati valutano con una probabilita' del 98% che la Fed lascera' i tassi di interesse invariati in un intervallo compreso tra il 5,0% e il 5,25% dopo la prossima riunione del 14 giugno, secondo lo strumento CME FedWatch, che tra le previsioni aggiunge la possibilita' che la banca centrale riporti l'obiettivo del tasso sui fondi federali al 4,4% entro dicembre. Di diverso avviso sono invece gli analisti di Citi che prevedono un'elevata inflazione alla vigilia del Fomc di giugno e si aspettano nuovi aumenti sia in giugno che in luglio che porteranno i tassi dei fondi al 5,5-5,75%. Intanto la Banca Centrale Europea ha annunciato stamani un rialzo dei tassi dell'area euro di un quarto di punto percentuale. I dati macroeconomici di oggi vedono un rallentamento del mercato del lavoro e le richieste dei sussidi di disoccupazione mostrano un aumento di 13.000 unita' a 242.000, contro previsioni a 236.000. Anche la produttivita' degli Stati Uniti e' diminuita drasticamente nel primo trimestre del 2023 a causa del rallentamento dell'economia. Il dato pubblicato stamani mostra infatti un calo del 2,7%, il risultato piu' debole dal secondo trimestre del 2022. Impennata sul costo del lavoro che ha registrato un incremento del 6,3%. Il deficit commerciale Usa in marzo e' sceso del 9,1%, secondo i dati di stamani, toccando il minimo di 4 mesi. Le cause sono da ricercare nella contrazione delle importazioni che indica una spesa dei consumatori piu' debole e un maggiore stress per l'economia statunitense. Dopo i primi minuti di scambi, il Dow Jones perde 64,82 punti (-0,19%), lo S&P 500 e' in calo di 12,25 punti (-0,30%), il Nasdaq cede 41,89 punti (-0,35%)."_

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 02 mag - Apertura in ribasso a Wall Street dopo che il segretario al Tesoro Janet Yellen ha avvertito che il Paese potrebbe andare in default entro il primo giugno se il Congresso non alzasse il tetto del debito. Immediata la reazione dell'amministrazione Biden che ha invitato lo speaker della Camera Usa Kevin McCarthy e gli altri principali leader repubblicani e democratici del Congresso alla Casa Bianca il 9 maggio per discutere della questione. Regna inoltre la cautela in vista dell'annuncio della Fed atteso per domani, quando finisce la riunione di due giorni del FOMC. Secondo il Cme FedWatch Tool, un barometro delle previsioni degli operatori di mercato, ci sono il 97% di possibilita' di un nuovo rialzo di 25 punti base da parte della banca centrale. Ma l'attenzione sara' tutta per le indicazioni sulle mosse future della Fed con gli investitori intenti a capire se ci sara' una pausa ai rialzi gia' a giugno o bisognera' aspettare ancora. Venerdi' scorso, la componente core del dato Pce (personal consumption expenditures price index), la misura preferita dalla Fed per calcolare l'inflazione, e' cresciuta dello 0,3% rispetto al mese precedente, in linea con le attese. Mentre il Prodotto interno lordo statunitense che e' cresciuto al tasso annualizzato dell'1,1% nel primo trimestre del 2023 rispetto ai tre mesi precedenti, dopo il +2,6% del quarto trimestre del 2022, contro attese per un rialzo del 2%, ha portato nuovamente alla ribalta i timori per un rallentamento dell'economia. Alle 16 sono attesi i dati sugli ordinativi alle fabbriche e sulle offerte di lavoro che potrebbero fornire nuove indicazioni sullo stato dell'economia USA. Dopo i primi minuti di scambi, il Dow Jones perde 158,01 punti (-0,46%), lo S&P 500 cede 14,80 punti (-0,36%), il Nasdaq e' in calo di 11,63 punti (-0,10%)."_

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 27 apr - Apertura in rialzo a Wall Street, grazie soprattutto alle trimestrali del settore tecnologico, nonostante gli ultimi dati economici mostrino un rallentamento dell'economia statunitense e un rialzo dell'inflazione. Il Prodotto interno lordo statunitense e' aumentato al tasso annualizzato dell'1,1% nel primo trimestre del 2023 rispetto ai tre mesi precedenti, dopo il +2,6% del quarto trimestre del 2022, contro attese per un rialzo del 2%. Il dato Pce sull'inflazione e' aumentato nel primo trimestre del 2023 dal 3,7% del trimestre precedente al 4,2%; il dato 'core', quello depurato dai prezzi energetici e dei prodotti alimentari, e' aumentato dal 4,4% al 4,9%, contro attese per un 4,7%. Ora, il 78,1% degli esperti, secondo i dati del Cme Group, prevede un rialzo dei tassi d'interesse di 25 punti base alla prossima riunione della Fed, in programma il 2-3 maggio. Sull'azionario, Meta Platforms e' in rialzo del 13,5% ed e' il titolo migliore sullo S&P 500 dopo i conti pubblicati ieri, alla chiusura dei mercati; Microsoft, dopo il +7,28% di ieri in seguito alla trimestrale, e' piatto (+0,025%).

By Sruthi Shankar and Ankika Biswas (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes fell on Wednesday as Treasury yields rose on growing expectations that the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates higher for longer, while mixed earnings from regional banks and weakness in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) further dented sentiment. Tesla Inc dropped 2.4% after the electric-vehicle maker reduced prices for a sixth time this year in the United States, ahead of its first-quarter results. Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) slid 4.7% after the video-streaming pioneer issued a downbeat forecast. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) declined 1.8% as the Wall Street bank reported a fall in quarterly earnings, a day after rival Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS) posted a 19% drop in profit on hit to dealmaking and losses from the sale of some assets in its consumer business. While the start of the earnings season has been largely supportive for equities, investors will closely watch updates from market heavyweights as well as consumer companies for signs of inflation and economic slowdown hurting margins. Mixed economic data recently has fueled bets that the U.S. central bank will hike interest rates by 25 basis points in May, with traders seeing an 83% chance for such a move, as per CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. The two-year Treasury yield, most reflective of short-term rate expectations, hit a one-month high and the 10-year yield hit a four-week high as traders scaled back expectations of rate cuts later this year. [US/] "I don't know if they're (Fed policymakers) going to raise a whole lot more, but all the hawkish tone is saying don't expect rate cuts this year, another thing driving yields a little bit higher because a lot of them had been anticipating a cut," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. "Also, UK inflation came in really hot and there are fears that it could spread here." Communication services, materials and technology were among the top S&P 500 sector decliners. The Fed's "Beige Book", a snapshot of the health of the U.S. economy, will be released at 2:00 p.m. ET (1800 GMT), and investors will scrutinize it for the impact of the recent banking crisis on economic activity. At 9:44 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 140.38 points, or 0.41%, at 33,836.25, the S&P 500 was down 19.18 points, or 0.46%, at 4,135.69, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 77.37 points, or 0.64%, at 12,076.04. Chipmakers including Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Inc were down around 1% each after European giant ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML) NV noted some signs of caution among customers. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index dropped 1.3%. Earnings from regional banks were mixed, with Citizens Financial (NYSE:CFG) Group Inc falling 3.4% after its first-quarter results missed estimates. Western Alliance (NYSE:WAL) Bancorp rallied 17.3% after the regional bank posted stronger-than-expected earnings and said its deposits had stabilized after the March banking crisis. Shares of First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC), Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION) and Pacwest Bancorp (NASDAQ:PACW) rose between 3% and 8.1%. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 3.70-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 2.40-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 10 new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 17 new highs and 57 new lows.

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - New York, 18 apr - Apertura contrastata a Wall Street. Da oggi, calendario fitto di trimestrali, a partire da quelle - gia' pubblicate - di Johnson & Johnson, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs e Lockheed Martin; dopo la chiusura dei mercati sara' il turno di Netflix e United Airlines. Gli investitori reagiscono anche agli ultimi dati, dopo le notizie confortanti sull'inflazione della scorsa settimana. I prezzi alla produzione sono diminuiti dello 0,5% rispetto al mese precedente, contro attese per un dato invariato, per un rialzo annuale in rallentamento dal 4,9% di febbraio al 2,7%. I prezzi al consumo a marzo si sono dimostrati ai minimi dal maggio 2021 (-5% annuale). Oggi, pubblicati i dati sui cantieri edili e i permessi edilizi, in calo rispettivamente dello 0,8% e dell'8,8%. Gli investitori danno l'89,4% di possibilita' (dati Cme Group) a un altro rialzo dei tassi d'interesse, da parte della Fed, di 25 punti base al 5%-5,25% alla prossima riunione di maggio; solo il 10,6%, ora, crede che la Banca centrale statunitense possa tenere fermi i tassi."_

By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Asian shares inched higher, while the dollar started the week on the front foot after U.S. jobs data pointed to a tight labour market, firming up expectations that the Federal Reserve will again raise interest rates at its meeting next month. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 0.12% higher, while Japan's Nikkei gained 0.5%. Australian, Hong Kong and European markets are closed for Easter. E-mini futures for the S&P 500 eased 0.02%, while the rate-sensitive Nasdaq was poised for a lower open with Nasdaq 100 e-minis down 0.25%. China shares slipped on Monday, with the blue chip CSI300 Index 0.32% lower, while the Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.16% amid rising geopolitical tensions around the Taiwan Strait. China announced three days of drills on Saturday, after Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen returned to Taipei following a meeting in Los Angeles with U.S. House of Representative Speaker Kevin McCarthy. China's military carried out aerial and naval blockade drills around Taiwan on Monday, with a Chinese aircraft carrier joining in combat patrols as Taipei reported another surge of warplanes near the island. U.S. Labor Department data on Friday showed that nonfarm payrolls increased by 236,000 jobs last month, just shy of the 239,000 expected by economists in a Reuters poll. The closely-watched report also showed that annual wage gains slowed but remained too high to be consistent with the U.S. central bank's 2% inflation target. The labour market is still too tight for the Fed to lower inflation to its 2% target without further interest rate hikes, said Mansoor Mohi-uddin, chief economist at the Bank of Singapore. "Investors are anticipating last month's U.S. bank failures will force the Fed to cut rates but officials warn sticky inflation will make the Fed unlikely to ease policy this year." Markets are now pricing in a 66% chance of the Fed raising interest rates by 25 basis points in its May 2-3 meeting, up from 49.2% on Thursday ahead of the data, according to CME FedWatch tool. Investor focus will now turn to the inflation report due on Wednesday that will shape the path the Fed will take in its battle against prices. Minutes of the central bank's last meeting in March are also scheduled to be released on Wednesday. With recession worries mounting, investors are betting the tumult in the banking system sparked by the sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March will tighten credit conditions. Traders have increasingly become convinced that the Fed will cut rates in the second half to ward off an economic downturn. But some analysts see a disconnect between the Fed's likely path and market expectations. "Not only should high inflation and a still-strong labour market keep cuts unlikely," according to Citi strategists. "But we see persistently too-strong inflation as leading to further hikes." Citi expects three further 25 basis point rate hikes. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, eased to 3.951%, after closing at 3.993% on Friday's abbreviated trading. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes was at 3.372%. A closely watched part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve measuring the gap between yields on two- and 10-year Treasury notes, seen as an indicator of economic expectations, was at -57.7 basis points. This curve has been inverted since July last year and typically predicts a recession. In the currency market, the dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency against six major peers, rose 0.225% to 102.25, lifting away from the two-month low of 101.40 the index touched last week. The euro was down 0.06% to $1.0891, while sterling was last at $1.24, down 0.10% on the day. The yen weakened 0.41% to 132.69 per dollar as Japan's new central bank governor Kazuo Ueda takes over from Haruhiko Kuroda.

By Ankika Biswas and Amruta Khandekar (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes fell on Thursday as latest labor market data pointed to slowing economic growth due to rapid interest rate hikes, with risk-wary investors looking forward to monthly jobs data for a clearer picture of the economy. Initial jobless claims fell to a seasonally adjusted 228,000 for the week ended April 1, a Labor Department report showed, but the prior week data was revised to show 48,000 more applications were received. Economists had expected 200,000 claims for the latest week. Major technology and growth stocks such as Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Corp fell between 0.9% and 2.1% in early trading, while bond yields inched higher. The information technology sector was the biggest sectoral loser on the S&P 500 as investors piled into defensive stocks such as healthcare and utilities. A string of recent reports, including weak data on private payrolls and job openings earlier this week, have suggested slowing labor demand and raised hopes of a pause in the Federal Reserve's market-punishing rate hikes. However, unlike in the last few months when evidence of a cooling economy was cheered by investors on hopes it would allow for a less hawkish Fed, softer data has added to fears of a recession and pressured equities in recent days. "The last strongholds of the economy are beginning to weaken and that signals recession," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. "The labor market is beginning to weaken and that's basically playing into the hands of the Fed." The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq are headed for weekly declines for the first time in four weeks. All eyes will now be on the more-comprehensive report on non-farm payrolls, which are expected to have increased by 239,000 in March, down from the 311,000 jobs added in the prior month. The report is due on Friday, when the U.S. stock market will be shut for the Good Friday holiday. Fed fund futures are indicating a 54.5% chance of the U.S. central bank pausing rate hikes in May with the remaining betting on a 25 basis point rate hike, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. A slew of major U.S. banks will kick off the first-quarter earnings season for big-ticket companies next week. At 9:35 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 38.64 points, or 0.12%, at 33,444.08, the S&P 500 was down 14.98 points, or 0.37%, at 4,075.40, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 89.02 points, or 0.74%, at 11,907.84. Among major stock moves, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) Holdings Inc jumped 8.6% after a U.S. court denied the theater operator's request to lift a status quo order necessary for its stock conversion plan. Levi Strauss & Co (NYSE:LEVI) fell 12.7% after the apparel maker posted a fall in quarterly profit. Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 1.10-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and for a 1.45-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 5 new 52-week highs and no new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 14 new highs and 66 new lows.

By Noel Randewich and Ankika Biswas (Reuters) - The S&P 500 dipped and the Nasdaq ended sharply lower on Wednesday after a growing wave of weak economic data deepened worries that the Federal Reserve's rapid interest rate hikes might tip the U.S. economy into a recession. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Corp dropped 2.1% and was among the stocks weighing most on the S&P 500 after Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc's Google unit said the supercomputers it uses to train its artificial intelligence models were faster and more power-efficient than comparable components made by the chipmaker. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc fell 3.7%, while Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) declined more than 1%, pulling down the Nasdaq and reversing gains in some of Wall Street's most valuable companies in recent weeks. Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), viewed as a bellwether for the industrial sector, dropped 1.8%, bringing its loss over the past two days to 7% as investors fretted about a potential economic downturn. " onerror="this.style.display='none'" class="msg-img" /> The S&P 500 declined 0.25% to end the session at 4,090.38 points. The Nasdaq fell 1.07% to 11,996.86 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.24% to 33,482.72 points. Driving the recession fears, the ADP National Employment report showed U.S. private employers hired far fewer workers than expected in March. That followed Tuesday's weak job openings data. As well, the Institute for Supply Management's survey showed the services sector slowed more than expected last month on cooling demand, while a measure of prices paid by services businesses fell to a near three-year low. Earlier this week data showed falling factory orders and soft manufacturing activity. Wall Street's recent losses in reaction to signs of a slowing economy mark a change from recent months, when investors cheered weak economic data on the basis that it might mean the Fed's interest rate hikes were working and that the Fed could ease up on its campaign to rein in decades-high inflation. "We may have transitioned from the notion that 'bad news is good news' to 'bad new is bad news'," said Jay Hatfield, chief executive and portfolio manager at InfraCap in New York. "Fear about a recession is the dominant theme." Reflecting worries about the economy and recent turmoil in the banking sector, interest rate futures imply 61% odds that the Fed will cut interest rates from current levels by the end of its July meeting, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. Of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes, seven declined, led lower by consumer discretionary, down 2.04%, followed by a 1.3% loss in industrials. Among stocks that kept the Dow Jones Industrial Average in positive territory, Johnson & Johnson (N:JNJ) rallied 4.5% after its $8.9 billion offer to settle talc-related lawsuits gained the support of thousands of claimants, easing an overhang on its plans to list consumer health unit Kenvue. Artificial intelligence C3.ai Inc tumbled more than 15%, sliding for a second day after a short seller alleged accounting issues. The AI company denied the allegations in an emailed response to Reuters. FedEx Corp (NYSE:FDX) rose 1.5% as the freight bellwether firm said it will fold its operating divisions into one organization as it steps up efforts to cut costs and increase efficiency. Big banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) and Citigroup (NYSE:C) will be among companies kicking off March-quarter reporting season next week, with investors eager for updates on the health of the financial industry. Analysts on average expect aggregate S&P 500 company earnings for the first quarter to have fallen 5% year-over-year, according to Refinitiv I/B/E/S. Declining stocks outnumbered rising ones within the S&P 500 by a 1.2-to-one ratio. The S&P 500 posted 11 new highs and two new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 39 new highs and 269 new lows. Volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively light, with 10.1 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 12.7 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions.

By Ankika Biswas and Amruta Khandekar (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq slipped on Wednesday as weaker-than-expected private payrolls data for March deepened worries that the rapid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve may tip the U.S. economy into a recession. The ADP National Employment report showed U.S. private employment rose by 145,000 jobs last month, compared with economists' projections of an increase of 200,000 jobs, adding to recent signs of a cooling economy. With growing concerns about a worsening economic outlook following the recent turmoil in the banking sector, market expectations have shifted in favor of the U.S. central bank hitting the brakes on its interest rate hikes. Traders' bets of a pause by the Fed in May shot up to 60.8%, while odds of a 25-basis point interest rate hike fell to 39.2%, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. Major technology and growth stocks such as Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) slipped between 0.3% and 1.4% in early trade. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Corp was among top drags on the S&P 500, down 2.2%, after Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc's Google said the supercomputers it uses to train its artificial intelligence models were faster and more power-efficient than comparable systems from the chipmaker. Defensive stocks such as healthcare, utilities and consumer staples were in the green among major S&P 500 sectors. Keeping the Dow Jones afloat was a 3.2% gain in Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) after the company's $8.9-billion offer to settle talc-related lawsuits gained support of thousands of claimants, easing an overhang on its plans to list consumer health unit Kenvue. All eyes are now on the non-farm payrolls data for March, a more comprehensive employment report, that is due on Friday for further clues on the state of the labor market. "The Street is realizing that with slower ADP payrolls ... and the possibility that we get an undercut in Friday's payroll numbers, the economy is indeed slowing and the Fed will only need to make one more rate hike, if any," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of CFRA Research in New York. "But at the same time, I think investors are closely watching to make sure that we don't fall into a deep recession." A report on non-manufacturing activity in March from the Institute for Supply Management is expected later on Wednesday. At 9:38 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 57.17 points, or 0.17%, at 33,459.55, the S&P 500 was down 6.16 points, or 0.15%, at 4,094.44, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 61.98 points, or 0.51%, at 12,064.35. Both the benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq are now on track for their first weekly declines in four in the holiday-shortened week. FedEx Corp (NYSE:FDX) rose 3.6% as the freight bellwether firm said it will fold its operating divisions into one organization as it steps up efforts to cut costs and increase efficiency. Declining issues outnumbered advancers for a 2.10-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 2.02-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded four new 52-week highs and one new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 17 new highs and 85 new lows.

By Ankur Banerjee SINGAPORE (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar was stuck near two-month lows on Wednesday as weak economic data bolstered views that the Federal Reserve is near the end of its tightening cycle, while the New Zealand dollar jumped after a larger-than expected interest rate hike. New Zealand's central bank raised interest by 50 basis points (bps) to a more than 14-year high of 5.25% in a move that surprised markets, as 22 of 24 economists in a Reuters poll had forecast just a 25 bps hike. The kiwi rallied 1% to touch a two-month high of $0.6383 after the decision. It was last up 0.55% at $0.635. Christopher Wong, a currency strategist at OCBC, said the central bank's stance was that near term inflationary pressures have increased and inflation is still too high and persistent, adding the hike brings the tightening cycle closer to an end. Elsewhere, data overnight showed U.S. job openings dropped to their lowest level in nearly two years in February, suggesting that labour market conditions were finally easing. Job openings, a measure of labour demand, were down 632,000 to 9.9 million on the last day of February, the monthly Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report, showed. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 10.4 million openings. The dollar index, which measures the currency against six peers, eased to a fresh two-month low of 101.43, after dropping 0.5% overnight. It was last at 101.57. The euro was flat at $1.0953, below the two-month peak it touched on Tuesday. Sterling was last at $1.2483, down 0.13% on the day, easing away from the ten month high it scaled on Tuesday. "The market is still looking at the U.S. data very closely ... The market is very sensitive to how well the U.S. growth outlook is holding up in light of the banking stress," said Moh Siong Sim, currency strategist at Bank of Singapore. The softer-than-anticipated U.S. jobs data led to the markets tweaking its outlook for rate hikes. Markets are now pricing in a 59% chance of the Fed standing pat on interest rates at its next policy meeting in May, CME FedWatch tool showed. Markets were pricing in a 43% chance of Fed not raising interest rates a day earlier. A report last week showed that while inflation ebbed in February, it remained high enough to possibly compel the Fed to raise interest rates one more time this year. "I think if you take away all the concerns about U.S. growth as a result of banking stress and just look objectively, the data seems to say that (it) is going in the right direction, but is still not quite there yet," said Bank of Singapore's Sim. "And the Fed may have to perhaps do more and keep rates high for longer." At their March policy meeting, most Fed policymakers signalled they expected to need to raise rates one more time, to 5.1%, and not cut them until 2024. Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester said on Tuesday that while the economy appears on a path toward slowing down, the central bank likely has more rate rises ahead of it. A Reuters poll of foreign exchange strategists showed that the U.S. dollar will likely weaken against most major currencies in 2023 as the interest rate gap with its peers narrows, putting the U.S. currency on the defensive after a multi-year run. "Focus will turn to Friday's key employment report, where the consensus is picking a further moderation in non-farm payrolls growth to 240K," Rodrigo Catril, a senior currency strategist at National Australia Bank (OTC:NABZY). In the U.S. bond market, the two-year Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, up 2.8 basis points at 3.862%, after sliding 14 basis points on Tuesday. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes was up 1.3 basis points to 3.350%, having slipped 9 basis points overnight. The Australian dollar fell 0.09% to $0.675, a day after Reserve Bank of Australia left its cash rate unchanged at 3.6%, snapping 10 straight hikes, saying it needed more time to assess the impact of past increases.

By Ankika Biswas and Amruta Khandekar (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes were muted on Tuesday as investors awaited key economic data that could decide the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary tightening path, with gains in shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) capping losses on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. Tesla Inc rose 1.7% in early trade as sales of its China-made electric vehicles rose in March, bouncing back from 6% declines on Monday following data on March-quarter deliveries. The stock's move made consumer discretionary shares the top gainer on the S&P 500, while energy stocks edged lower after a strong rally on Monday. Rising oil prices following the OPEC+ group's output cuts have renewed fears about inflation, denting hopes of an end to aggressive interest rate hikes despite recent signs of cooling prices and turbulence in the banking sector. "We think that it (soaring oil prices) will cause inflation to remain sticky and the Fed definitely wants to ensure that they have a stranglehold on inflation before they take their foot off the brake," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist of CFRA Research in New York. Bets by traders of a 25-basis point rate hike in May stood at 60%, with odds of a pause at 40%, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. Later on Tuesday, investors will watch out for data on U.S. job openings that is likely to show a fall in February, as they attempt to assess if the aggressive rate hikes have cooled the economy to the Fed's satisfaction. A separate report expected is likely to show factory orders fell 0.5% in February and will come on the heels of surveys showing weak U.S. manufacturing activity in March. "Factory orders are expected to show a decline. That would imply that the war against inflation is working," Stovall said. The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq have gained 7.5% and 16.5% so far in 2023, steadying from their worst annual drop last year since the 2008 financial crisis. At 9:39 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 5.83 points, or 0.02%, at 33,606.98, the S&P 500 was up 3.91 points, or 0.09%, at 4,128.42, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 7.55 points, or 0.06%, at 12,197.00. Among stocks, Virgin Orbit Holdings Inc tanked 20.1% after the satellite launch company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on failing to secure long-term funding. AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) Holdings Inc shares tumbled 15.9% after the movie theater chain said it agreed to settle litigation and proceed with converting its preferred stock into common shares. Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp fell 4.3% after the SPAC linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump delayed the filing of its annual financial report. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners for a 1.10-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.27-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded nine new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 36 new highs and 38 new lows.

Ed infatti, dal **CME Fed WatchTool**, sale l'opzione di un rialzo di 0.25 alla riunione di maggio.

_"(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor Plus) - Milano, 31 mar - La frenata dell'inflazione sulle due sponde dell'Atlantico da' la spinta alle Borse europee per chiudere la quinta seduta consecutiva di rialzo e per lasciarsi alle spalle le tensioni bancarie che hanno caratterizzato il mese di marzo. Con gli acquisti concentrati soprattutto sui settori consumer (retailer, viaggi e alimentare), Parigi (+0,8%) e Francoforte (+0,7%) sono state le migliori in Europa mentre Piazza Affari (+0,34%) e' stata parzialmente rallentata dal calo delle banche dopo una settimana da protagonista (+5,5% Ftse Italia Banche). Il +6,9% annuo dei prezzi nell'Eurozona a marzo, dopo il +8,5% di febbraio - anche se accompagnato da un dato core in aumento ma a passo lento (da +7,8% a +7,9%) - e la variazione sotto le previsioni dell'indice Pce negli Stati Uniti, hanno supportato l'umore degli investitori in funzione delle scelte delle banche centrali. 'Al momento, fa comunque notare Filippo Diodovich di Ig - crediamo che sia difficile ipotizzare che la Bce possa prendersi una pausa nella lotta contro le pressioni inflazionistiche' mentre 'per il prossimo meeting di maggio le probabilita' di una pausa da parte della Federal Reserve nel processo di rialzo dei tassi di interesse sono quasi al 50% secondo i dati raccolti dal CME'. Un contributo al nuovo rialzo dei mercati e' arrivato anche dai 'segnali di rafforzamento per l'economia cinese dopo che i dati Pmi di marzo hanno battuto le stime - segnala Mps Capital Services - Il dato sui servizi ha accelerato in modo inatteso, mentre quello manifatturiero ha rallentato ma meno del previsto'."_

By Amruta Khandekar and Ankika Biswas (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes gained on Friday after data showed inflation slowed in February, supporting hopes of a softer monetary policy approach from the Federal Reserve. The Commerce Department's report showed the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) index, which is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, rose 0.3% in February, on a monthly basis, compared with a 0.6% rise in January. Traders' bets of a 25-basis-point rate hike in May stand at 52.5%, with odds of a pause at 47.5%, according to CME Group's (NASDAQ:CME) Fedwatch tool. "As the Fed rate hikes are now kind of starting to take hold right about a year later since they first began perhaps it is a sign that their hikes are starting to cool inflation," said Brandon Pizzurro, director of public investments at Guidestone Capital Management. "But in terms of the Fed's calculus, they'll have to have more confirmation that disinflation is really taking hold beyond just a few data points here and there." Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that it was still early for the central bank to assess whether its rate hikes have gone far enough to bring inflation back to the Fed's 2% target. Consumer discretionary and real-estate were the top sector index performers with around 0.9% gains each. As U.S. 10-year Treasury yields fell to a session low of 3.51% after the data, major growth names like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Meta Platforms and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) gained between 0.3% and 0.8%. Limiting gains on the S&P 500, Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) dropped 3.0% after news that China was set to review the chipmaker's products sold in the country. The broader Philadelphia semiconductor index fell 0.5%. Friday will cap a turbulent first quarter for stocks, marked by sticky inflation, shockwaves from the collapse of two regional U.S. banks and signs of trouble in some European banks, as well as a repricing of interest rate expectations from the Fed. The Nasdaq is set for its biggest quarterly percentage gain since the end of 2020 as investors shifted toward major technology and growth stocks from financial stocks amid fears of a bank contagion, while the cyclicals-heavy Dow Jones is in the red. The benchmark S&P 500 has gained nearly 6% so far in the first quarter, with the technology sector up about 20% while the financials index is set for its worst quarter since June. ) At 9:46 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 176.19 points, or 0.54%, at 33,035.22, the S&P 500 was up 19.64 points, or 0.48%, at 4,070.47, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 63.40 points, or 0.53%, at 12,076.87. Virgin Orbit Holdings tanked 40.8%, a day after the rocket maker said it was cutting about 85% of staff. Companies linked to Donald Trump such as Digital World Acquisition Corp and Phunware Inc jumped 10.2% and 3.4%, respectively, amid retail investor interest, a day after the former president was indicted in a historic first. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 6.27-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.76-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded nine new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 35 new highs and 46 new lows.
