Analysts said that risk appetite was bolstered in global equity markets as the expectation that central banks could soon abandon “hawk” policies.
According to the data released yesterday in the USA, analysts stated that the estimates that the labor market may have started to cool have increased, and that the “hawk” pricing in the money markets weakened before the monetary policy decisions of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to be taken next week.
Following these developments, the predictions that the Fed will raise interest rates by 25 basis points on June 14, according to the pricing in the money markets, decreased to 24 percent.
