Global News
* Fed officials split as markets pull back expectations for a December rate cut: U.S. agencies have begun announcing schedules to release economic data delayed by the government shutdown, while Federal Reserve officials remain split on the need for another rate cut. Market sentiment shifted sharply on Friday, with short-term interest-rate futures showing a 60% chance the Fed will not follow its September and October cuts with another one in December reversing expectations from just a day earlier. Hawkish Fed presidents Jeffrey Schmid, Lorie Logan, and Beth Hammack reiterated concerns about inflation and signaled caution toward further easing, saying more evidence of cooling inflation or labor market weakness is needed. Schmid warned that additional cuts could undermine the Fed’s inflation credibility. In contrast, the dovish Fed Governor Stephen Miran argued for another cut, aligning with the view that current rates are too high. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has noted that recent cuts were “insurance” amid labor-market risks, but with key data delayed, the Fed must wait for clarity. With policymakers divided and markets shifting, the December 9–10 meeting is shaping up to be highly contested.

Global Debt Market:
U.S. Treasury yields were little changed on Friday as investors weighed the state of the U.S. economy after the government shutdown ended. President Donald Trump signed into law a funding bill, late Wednesday evening, which ended the longest running U.S. government shutdown. The measure was passed by the House of Representatives in a 222-209 vote. During the shutdown, government agencies weren’t able to release key reports including the consumer price index, producer price index, and nonfarm payrolls report, which meant investors were flying blind on economic data. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that some economic data during the shutdown might never be released. “The Democrat shutdown made it extraordinarily difficult for economic economists investors and policy makers at the Federal Reserve to receive critical government data,” Leavitt said. Investors have also turned their attention to the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision. Traders are now pricing in a nearly 50% chance that the central bank will cut its benchmark overnight borrowing rate by a quarter percentage point during their December meeting, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
