Economic news: Focus is on US employment data. Global financial markets experienced a turbulent month with USD surging supported by climbing US Yields. 10-year yields reached a new 16-year peak, registering the largest weekly increase since July, while 30-year yield ascended to levels unseen since 2010. Concurrently, the yield curve underwent a swift normalization, with 10-year vs. 2-year Treasury spread narrowing significantly.
USD rally was boosted by stronger than expected manufacturing data and surging yields. US ISM(mfrg) is in contraction mode, but the pace of decline has slackened, indicating a possible turnaround. This is the best reading in last 3 months. US Congress passed a stop gap funding bill, which has avoided a possible shutdown.
Despite USD’S robustness, Rupee declined only marginally in Sept, due to RBI’S intervention. Climbing Oil prices and hence rising trade deficit are negatives for Rupee.
