EU Market View
Asian equities traded with a mild positive bias following on from the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 notching fresh record highs. European stock markets are seen opening mixed Wednesday, largely continuing the positive global trend on the back of falling bond yields as U.S. inflation concerns eased, although other concerns over Covid-19 remain. The dollar fell to multi-week lows against the euro and the yen on Wednesday, after an uptick in a U.S. consumer price gauge did not spark wider fears about accelerating inflation and the Federal Reserve's tapering, pushing down U.S. bond yields.
Wall Street ended mostly higher Tuesday, with the broad-based SP500 posting another record close, and Asian stock markets have largely followed suit as key U.S. Treasury yields fell to a fresh three-week low after data showed U.S. inflation was not spiralling out of control.
The U.S. CPI rose 0.6% in March, the biggest increase since August 2012, but the market had seemingly positioned for a higher figure as rising vaccinations and fiscal stimulus released pent-up demand.
