Market reaction
Fears over the SVB fallout seem to wane during mid-Asia, as the Fed and Treasury come out with a bailout plan. The S&P 500 futures have jumped about 1.20% so far, reclaiming the 3,900 mark. Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index is on the back foot, testing the 104.00 level, reeling from the mixed US employment data-led pain.
