The main indicators of Wall Street in Tuesday’s trading are moving with a negative sign as the rise of bond yields and the latest warning of Target for the course of its profitability aggravate the climate.
Bond yields returned to an upward trajectory at the beginning of the week, with the 10-year yield climbing above the psychological level of 3% on Monday as investors await the announcement of inflation data in May at the end of the week. The 10-year yield is currently slightly below 3.00%
The May measure will help investors get a better picture of the central bank’s next moves as the debate over the need for higher interest rate hikes by 50 basis points continues to curb inflation.
At the same time, Federal Reserve executives are forced to abstain from public statements ahead of the central bank meeting on June 14 and 15, exacerbating uncertainty. The European Central Bank is meeting on Thursday and is expected to pave the way for raising interest rates in July, launching a policy tightening.
Earlier today, the Reserve Bank of Australia surprised markets by raising interest rates by 50 basis points, the largest rate hike in 22 years.
