On reason for strong global cues, Marc Despallieres, Chief Strategy and Trading Officer at Vantage said, “The recent gains in the market were influenced by comments from Federal Reserve officials, suggesting the need for further monetary tightening despite the recent bank failures. Susan Collins, the Boston Fed President, emphasized the importance of tightening policies, while Thomas Barkin, the Richmond Fed President, stated that the Fed can increase rates further if inflation risks persist. Neel Kashkari, the Minneapolis Fed President, expressed his commitment to bring inflation back to 2%, but also acknowledged that the impact of the recent financial-system turmoil is not fully clear.”
