**Global Market Roundup: Trends and Highlights**

The global markets on 20 September 2024 presented a dynamic landscape with significant
movements across various sectors. Here’s a comprehensive roundup of the day’s key
trends and highlights:

**Equities:** The S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices hit fresh highs, buoyed by a 50 
basis point rate cut from the Federal Reserve. This decisive action has fueled optimism
for a “soft landing” of the US economy, with tech stocks particularly glowing in
response.

**Currencies:** The risk-on sentiment weighed on the haven currency JPY ahead of
the Bank of Japan’s policy announcement. Meanwhile, the dollar experienced choppy
trading but ultimately slipped as traders grappled with the Fed’s substantial rate
cut.

**Commodities:** Oil continued its rally, reaching a two-week high. This commodity
surge aligns with broader energy sector gains, reflecting a robust demand outlook
and geopolitical dynamics.

**Fixed Income:** The yield curve has continued to steepen, indicating a shift in
investor expectations regarding future rate cuts. The Bank of England’s decision
to keep rates unchanged at 5% with an 8-1 vote split underscores a cautious approach
to policy easing.

**Economic Data:** Notable data points included China’s loan prime rates and Japan’s
CPI inflation hitting a 10-month high in August. These figures are critical inputs
for central banks’ policy decisions, with the Bank of Japan meeting being a focal
point for investors.

**Macro Events:** The market’s attention was also on China’s PBoC LPR and the Quad
Witching, which refers to the simultaneous expiration of stock index futures, stock
index options, stock options, and single stock futures.

**Corporate News:** FedEx cut its full-year guidance after a significant fiscal 
Q1 earnings miss, while Nike named former executive Elliott Hill as CEO, signaling
strategic shifts within these major corporations.
