On February 26, Fed Chairman Logan said that in the medium term, it is appropriate for the Fed to buy more short-term securities rather than long-term securities so that the portfolio can reflect the composition of U.S. Treasury issuance more quickly. The Fed is currently gradually reducing its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Logan said that when the Fed needs to start expanding its balance sheet again, policymakers should consider actively purchasing more short-term assets to bring the central banks balance sheet to a neutral level faster.Market news: A U.S. judge extended the deadline to prevent the Trump administration from completely suspending federal funding.On February 26, according to NBC News, the White House said that the large bruise on the back of US President Trumps right hand was caused by shaking hands. The bruise was visible when Trump met with French President Macron at the White House on Monday. White House Press Secretary Levitt said: "President Trump has bruises on his hands because he works and shakes hands all day long." Photos show that Trumps right hand had obvious bruises or redness and swelling on at least two other occasions in August and November last year. The situation was also reported by multiple news media in 2024.

In a statement issued on the same day, the White House said, "Asking questions to the President of the United States in the Oval Office and on Air Force One is only a privilege granted to reporters, not a legal right." A spokesperson for the Associated Press responded that the Associated Press will "continue to defend the right of the press and the public to speak freely without government retaliation" and look forward to the next hearing.Tesla (TSLA.O)s losses widened to 10%, hitting a new low since November 8 last year.

The USD/JPY exchange rate is anticipated to resume its ascent from 132.00 as the BOJ favors greater policy easing

The USD/JPY pair has gradually retraced approaching the crucial support level of 132.00 in the early Asian session. Following a big increase to approximately 132.70, the asset is seeing weak selling pressure. The major may resume its ascent despite the risk-on market mentality, as the Bank of Japan (BOJ) has supported greater policy easing to bolster wages.

 

As the Federal Reserve (Fed) is projected to lower the rate of interest rate hikes, the S&P500 exhibited a stronger recovery on Wednesday following a two-day fall.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) dropped sharply below 104.00 as an adjustment to the Fed's sluggish pace of policy tightening anticipated a reduction in the US price index for goods and services. In addition, the yield on US Treasury bonds has increased due to the majority of Fed policymakers' support for a slower rate of interest rate increases. The yield on 10-year US Treasuries has declined to approximately 3.69 percent.

 

Investors will await the release of the United States Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Employment Change (Dec), which is projected to be 150K, up from the previous release of 127K. In contrast, the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report reveals a rise of 200K jobs compared to the previous estimate of 263K. The US Institute of Supply Management's (ISM) report of a decline in manufacturing activity and the Federal Reserve's decision to increase interest rates increase predictions of a slowed employment creation process.

 

After BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda pushed for greater policy easing to drive the wage price index in order to meet higher inflation projections for CY2023 and CY2024, the Japanese yen experienced a strong fall in Tokyo.
