Daily Market Snapshot: Markets Expect Volatility from Rates, Data, and Speeches

US Stocks pulled back in trading yesterday as investors looked ahead to fresh data and evaluate the longer-term impact of China’s stimulus package. The dollar gained strongly to push up off annual lows and treasury yields jumped higher.

Oil prices suffered as supply concerns out of Libya eased, but, yet again Gold rallied to another new high, with the peak now at $2,670.43.

There is strong potential for more volatility in markets today with the Swiss National Bank expected to cut rates again, some key US data due out, and we hear from a raft of central bank speakers, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
