Markets still on shaky ground

• Jittery markets. Oil prices rose again, as did bond yields. Risk sentiment remains fragile. USD firmer. AUD & NZD still under pressure.• Global pulse. RBA expected to hike rates on Tuesday. China PMIs, US PCE & US jobs report on the radar next week. More market volatility likely. Global Trends Familiar themes continue to be in the market driver’s seat with the mix of elevated oil prices, inflation risks, and rising bond yields continuing to dampen the mood.

Soaring yields strain global currency markets

Good morning. The dollar is sitting near a two-month high after Treasury yields posted their biggest single-day jump since the market convulsions that followed last year’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariff announcements. With the exception of the Swiss franc, every major currency is down almost 1% against the greenback this week. Investors were wrongfooted yesterday when S&P Global’s purchasing-managers’ index showed US business activity growing at its fastest pace in five years in September. According to the typically-humdrum second-tier release, output across the manufacturing and services sectors hit its highest levels since July 2021. The manufacturing index jumped to 57, its best...

Dollar steamroller gains momentum

Good morning. The dollar is on course for a fifth consecutive daily gain as a hawkish repricing of the Federal Reserve’s expected policy path rolls on. Richmond Fed president Thomas Barkin yesterday joined many of his colleagues in suggesting that repeated supply shocks could endanger the central bank’s price-stability mandate, and warning that further tightening may be needed.

Holding on, but risks remain

• Consolidation. Oil a little lower due to positive rhetoric. US equities tread water. USD a bit firmer. NZD a relative outperformer. AUD drifts a fraction lower.• Data pulse. Global PMIs out today. AU jobs report due Thursday. RBA Gov. Bullock acknowledges higher unemployment needed to ease inflation. Global Trends With news flow limited, financial market movements were modest overnight. Some positive vibes about the state of play in the Middle East caused oil prices to dip a little with brent crude slipping back to ~US$98.50/brl. President Trump indicated that US officials met with Iran’s delegation at the UN for...
