Posted by admin

in News

By Ann Saphir (Reuters) - Federal Reserve officials, increasingly confident the U.S. economy is fast recovering from the pandemic-induced recession, have begun telegraphing an exit from the central bank's extraordinarily easy monetary policy that so far is smoother and signaled to be speedier than when the reins were tightened after the last crisis.

Analysis: Shaken but not stirred: bond markets may weather hawkish Fed for now By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

By Dhara Ranasinghe LONDON (Reuters) - A hawkish shift at the U.S. Federal Reserve has ended a weeks-long rally in bond markets, but don't bet on a repeat of the sharp selloff seen earlier this year just yet. U.S. 10-year bond yields are back above 1.5%, near two-week highs, while Germany's Bund yield hit a three-week peak at around -0.15% on Thursday. Investors scarred by a sharp bond selloff in February, which also hit stocks, have reason to be uneasy. Yet unusual short-term supply and demand dynamics and strong global demand for safe-haven bonds, squeezed...

Britain says China is targeting dissent with Apple Daily raid By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain on Thursday said a police raid on Hong Kong's pro-democracy tabloid Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Daily showed that China was using a new national security law to target dissent rather than deal with public security. "Today’s raids and arrests at Apple Daily in Hong Kong demonstrate Beijing is using the National Security Law to target dissenting voices, not tackle public security," British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said. "Freedom of the press is one of the rights China promised to protect in the Joint Declaration and should be respected," he said. ...

The ECB last week decided to maintain an elevated level of bond buying, but as the economy rebounds and the pandemic retreats some policymakers are already making the case to start a discussion about rolling back emergency stimulus.
