News category : Macroeconomic Events

On December 1 U.S. stock indexes ended the session modestly lower following a notable rise in Treasury yields. The selloff in equities was driven by renewed concerns about interest-rate persistence and a set of fresh economic indicators that complicated the path for policy easing. Higher yields weighed on growth and rate-sensitive stocks while prompting flows into defensive sectors. Traders highlighted that the move took place in a holiday-shortened period with thinner liquidity, amplifying the price action. Market strategists said the session underlined the sensitivity of equity valuations to shifts in rate expectations as the Fed meeting approaches.
