UNLOCK OFFERHere is what you need to know on Tuesday, February 7:
Markets are adopting a calmer tone after the shock of last week's nonfarm payrolls jobs report is still being digested. With Fed Chair Powell speaking later on Tuesday, investors are bracing for a more hawkish message. Certainly, that is what Fed member Kaskari is currently delivering by expecting the terminal rate at 5.4%. So far the market is not reacting, but yields look set to rise if Powell confirms those thoughts. Kaskari and Powell do tend to rhyme when it comes to rates and decisions.
The US Dollar is flat at 103.70 in the Dollar Index, Gold is also flat at $1,869, and oil is higher at $75.17.
European markets are mixed: Eurostoxx is flat, FTSE is +0.5%, and CAC and DAX are both -0.1%.
US futures are also mixed: Nasdaq +0.3%, Dow -0.1%, and S&P +0.1%.
