"Buy the rumor - sell the fact" action for USD/TRY
During today's Turkish central bank meeting, the market anticipated a rate cut between 200-300 pips.
US equities are backed by tech shares
On Tuesday, American equities bounced off having dipped nearly 2% in each of the last two days, underpinned by leaps in the technology sector as well as a rebound in some bellwether shares such as J&J and Boeing.
However, the key focus is on the key US financial institution that starts its two-day monetary policy gathering against the backdrop of a host of calls, including from the country’s leader, to cease its tightening cycle or risk harming the American or the world’s economy.
With a widely anticipated fourth rate lift for the year on Wednesday, the worst performing S&P sector in December, financials managed to head north by 0.50%.
The S&P 500 went down by 12% below its record maximum, thus finding itself in correction territory. It concluded Monday at a 14-month minimum. It has struggled to hold onto profits in a particularly weavering December in the face of fears about global surge, interest rates, to say nothing of the China-US trade conflict.
9 of the 11 key S&P sectors jumped. The greatest lift to the market was provided by the recently beaten-down technology index – it shot up about 1.47%.
A dividend lift along with a higher share repurchase program assisted Boeing Co to snap a three-day losing marathon to inch up by 4%. As a matter of fact, the stock turned out to be the greatest push to Dow Industrials.
Other soaring marquee equities included Amazon, Apple, and Facebook. They managed to ascend by 2%-4%. They appeared to be the biggest gainers to the Nasdaq and the S&P.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 1.19% ending up with 23,874.54. As for the S&P 500, it managed to leap by 0.84% showing 2,567.45, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.18% being worth 6,833.65.
