US equities at new session lows, while 💲 strengthens amid broad risk off sentiment
Major Wall Street indices launched Thursday's session higher, however upbeat sentiment faded away later on and stock resumed recent downward correction, while the dollar index firmed up near 104.7, hovering near its strongest levels in seven weeks.
Investors remained cautious as recent US economic data pointed to a still-tight labor market. At the same time, minutes of the Federal Reserve’s last meeting showed that US policymakers largely agreed to keep fighting inflation with more interest rate hikes. Also rising geopolitical tensions weigh on market sentiment. Ahead of the first anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, NATO Chief Stoltenberg said that the alliance has observed indications that China is perhaps considering sending weapons to Russia. Meanwhile Germany’s Chancellor Scholz informed Chinese representatives that sending weapons to Russia is not acceptable.
