- U.S. index futures experience a mixed session
- U.S. Dollar (USD) gains 0.11% at the time of publication
- Yields on U.S. 10-year bonds fall to 4.21%
On Wednesday, indexes open without a clear direction. US500 gains 0.10% to 5280 points, while US100 records a slight decline of 0.25% to 18400 points. Lower volatility in the market this week may be influenced by the holiday mood related to the upcoming Easter holidays and fewer macroeconomic publications after an intense last week. The key event this week is the release of the PCE inflation report on Friday. However, market reaction will be limited due to the longer holiday weekend and could be monitored after the weekend in April.
