Morning Juice – US Session Prep (16th February)

Sentiment
Stocks rose, and bonds remained stable after benign US inflation data reinforced views that the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates this year. Trading volumes were low due to public holidays in the United States and China. The dollar began the week up 0.1%, boosted primarily by depreciation of the yen, as Japan’s GDP disappointed expectations. Bond prices are little changed since the Treasury cash trade is closed for the holiday.

Docket
No noteworthy economic indicators.
