- In yesterday's session, investors traded cautiously as they positioned for today's conclusion of the Federal Reserve meeting (where we expect Jerome Powell to announce the beginning of a reduction in the pace of net asset purchases) and tomorrow's Bank of England monetary policy meeting.
- On the data front, October manufacturing PMIs in Europe came in broadly as suggested by the flash releases and remained clearly in the expansionary territory (euro area 58.3; Germany 57.8; France 53.6). In Spain, the index declined from 58.1 points in September to 57.4 while in Italy it rose from 59.7 to 61.1.
- In this context, stock indices were mixed in advanced economies, with U.S. equities still benefiting from the ongoing better-than-expected Q3 earning's season. In fixed income markets, yields on sovereign bonds declined significantly in the euro area, partially undoing the rally registered last week.
