US markets grinding lower as BoJ stayed put
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Equities in the US markets are markedly retreating on Tuesday, after the inaction of the BoJ regarding the JGBs’ volatility prompted investors to increase the demand for the JPY safe haven. The greenback is also edging lower, testing lows in the area of 81.00/15 in terms of the DXY. DowJones is losing 0.51%, followed by the S&P500, 0.71% and the Nasdaq, 0.76%.
Bourses across the pond closed in a ‘sea of red’ after the BoJ stayed in the sidelines regarding further measures to boost the economy. The IBEX35 was the worst performer, down 1.68%, ahead of the CAC40, 1.39% and the DAX, 1.03%. The shared currency is hovering over 1.3300 the figure against the backdrop of rumours from the German Constitutional Court.
In the commodities’ space, both the barrel of WTI and the ounce troy of gold are retreating 0.56% at $1,378 and 0.55% at $95.24, respectively.
