The Global Markets Focused on the Minutes of Fed's Meetings

Today, we see investors focusing on the meeting minutes and the intense data agenda of the US Federal Reserve Bank during the complex course of the global markets.

Along with the news feed that revolves around the COVID-19 outbreak, vaccination studies, and the economic package planned in the US, the concerns over the inflationist pressure caused by the increase in commodity prices entered into the agenda of the markets and pointed out the importance of communication between central banks, especially the Fed.

Wall Street has its own ups and downs these days

The increase in oil prices, as well as the rise in agricultural commodity prices, raise questions concerning global inflation. While the price of Brent oil per barrel rose above $63 and saw its highest level of the 13-month period, the decline in the ounce price of gold yesterday and the appreciation of the dollar against the currencies of developing countries attracted attention.

The data announced yesterday in the USA revealed that while the New York Fed manufacturing index rose to the highest level of 5 months with a value of 12.1 in February, Wall Street had its ups and downs. The 10-year bond yields of the US increased from 1.22% to 1.29%. The Dow Jones index set its closing record with 31,522.75 points with a 0.20% increase. The S&P 500 index lost value in 0.06% and the Nasdaq index in 0.34%.
