Global equities rally after Williams; weekly losses narrow

News category : Market Structure and Financial Stability Events

Across trading sessions on November 21, major equity indexes staged a recovery that trimmed earlier weekly declines. The catalyst was a combination of Fed commentary suggesting possible near-term easing and a set of mixed macro prints that left the growth-vs-inflation balance ambiguous. Short-dated interest-rate futures reweighted the probability of a December cut, prompting investors to re-scale duration and risk exposures. Equity sectors sensitive to interest-rate moves—especially large-cap technology and financials—experienced heightened rotation, while volatility measures initially rose on mixed intraday signals before settling lower as buyers stepped in. The move reflected how quickly market positioning can adjust when credible policy shifts enter the debate.
