Mixed Trends In World Markets

Market sentiment remains mixed ahead of economic data updates from the U.S. that hold sway over the Fed’s monetary easing plans. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Thursday also added to the nervousness in the market.

Wall Street Futures are directionless. European benchmarks are trading mostly lower. Asian markets finished trading on a mixed note.

Dollar Index is hovering near the flatline. Bond yields hardened. Crude oil prices slipped as the euphoria that followed China’s stimulus announcements faded. Gold scaled fresh peaks again, extending gains for the 6th straight day. Top-ranked cryptocurrencies are trading in a mixed fashion.
