UBP Weekly View - Fed caution and resilient earnings
The Fed's 25-bp rate cut, paired with Powell's cautious tone on further rate reductions, led to mixed market reactions. Despite this, strong earnings, particularly in the tech sector, supported equities, while bond yields rose. The USD strengthened amid JPY weakness, and gold consolidated at around USD 4,000. With the eurozone showing modest growth and US consumer confidence declining, investors are focused on another heavy week of earnings and key data releases for further direction.
