Financial Markets Daily Report27 November 2025
Financial markets had a mixed session on Wednesday. The US Treasury curve flattened, with short term yields rising due to stronger than expected data: initial jobless claims came in below expectations, and durable goods orders (excluding non-defense and aviation goods) for September posted a positive surprise.
Eurozone sovereign yields were mostly flat and peripheral spreads fell slightly. ECB's Vujcic said the ECB should only cut rates again if price growth sets persistently below target. Elsewhere in Europe, British sovereign yields fell after the Government unveiled a new budget with higher taxes and less debt issuance than expected.
Global equity indices posted gains, lifted by an improved sentiment about tech, which also pushed bitcoin higher, and by the elevated investors' expectations (ca. 80%) of a December rate cut from the Fed. This backdrop pushed the dollar down against the euro, while the pound strengthened as UK markets rallied.
