Market Headlines

The US 10-year note’s yield was 3.57 percent. 

In the wake of last week’s flight to safety, which was sparked by concerns about the recession and the Fed’s aggressive rhetoric as it fights against inflation, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were down, while the Dow Jones managed to hold on to a tiny gain. 

The S&P 500, the Dow, and the Nasdaq are on pace to post their worst yearly percentage losses since 2008, the lowest point of the global financial crisis, with only two weeks left in 2022. 

Closer to home, today marks the release of the minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia’s December monetary policy meeting.
