>>> What to look at today - 21st of March 2023

A mildly positive tone for risk taking returned to Asian equity markets Tuesday as immediate concerns over the strength of the global financial system dissipated. A benchmark of the region’s stocks gained about 0.5% as shares rose in Hong Kong, South Korea and Australia. Most sectors rose, with financial stocks outpacing the broader gauge.  Futures for the S&P 500 were slightly higher following a jump of 0.9% Monday in the underlying index. News that US officials were studying ways to temporarily guarantee all bank deposits if the current financial crisis expands sent contracts for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 to their intraday highs.  Also supporting sentiment during the Asian session was a rebound in Additional Tier 1 bonds sold by banks in the Asia-Pacific region.  The dollar steadied and was set to end a three-day losing streak, which sent a measure of the greenback’s strength to a month-low on Monday. That came as expectations grew that the Federal Reserve may adapt a more cautious policy approach when it decides on interest rates Wednesday.  The policy-sensitive two-year US Treasury yield ended Monday 14 basis points higher and just below 4%. There was no trading of cash Treasuries in Asia hours Tuesday with a holiday in Japan. The policy-sensitive two-year US Treasury yield ended Monday 14 basis points higher and just below 4%.
