Rising bond yields amid renewed inflation concerns contributed to investor unease.

Key Events of the Week:

- Bond yields, particularly on 2 and 10-year Treasuries, increased steadily throughout the week, signaling heightened inflation worries despite strong economic indicators.

Fed Fund

Market Scenario

Investors have adjusted to the Fed's plan of three rate hikes this year, but uncertainty looms ahead of the release of the Fed's updated projections and the Bank of Japan's policy decision. Housing-market data and earnings reports from major companies will also influence market sentiment.

Conclusion:

While European markets continue to set records, caution prevails in the US as technology stocks show signs of restlessness amid rising inflation. Investors are reminded of the need to tread carefully, especially with the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting and ongoing inflation concerns.
