FTSE 100 today: Stocks rebound modestly after gilt rout; U.S. jobs data in focus
Market context: SPY: U.S. payrolls and Fed hike bets directly influence U.S. equity benchmarks and broad risk sentiment. A weaker-than-expected payrolls print tends to support equities by reducing the likelihood of further Fed tightening. DXY: Lower Fed hike expectations on weak payrolls typically weigh on the U.S. dollar. Reduced rate-hike probability tends to push the dollar lower against major peers. TLT: Weaker payrolls and softer Fed hike expectations typically lift long-duration Treasuries. Lower expected terminal rates tend to push long-term Treasury yields down and TLT higher. GBP/USD: Dollar weakness from softer U.S. data is likely to lift the pound; FTSE 100 is also partly dollar-sensitive via multinational earnings. A softer dollar and a stronger FTSE can coincide with GBP/USD strength.
