Global equity markets fell, and the dollar firmed against several world currencies after data showed a resilient US jobs market, indicating interest rates will stay higher for longer as central banks fight to slow inflation amid relatively strong economic growth. Government bonds, which typically perform well when there is a dash for safe havens, sold off intense pressure; resulting in the 10-year US Treasury yield crawling up to a 1-month high of 3.655%, while the yield on Germany’s 10-year bond (Eurozone benchmark), reached 2.306%. Markets now predict that the FFR will peak at above 5.1% in July (as Fed officials had previously predicted) and then decline to 4.83% in December. Chinese Yuan hit a 1-month low, losing 2% in a span of 3 days. Markets are now focused on awaiting comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, that set to speak on Tuesday.
