Market Wrap International:

Global markets ended last week on a restrained footing as a series of hawkish Federal Reserve remarks tempered expectations for near-term policy easing, pushing yields higher and weighing on risk appetite. The reopening of the U.S. government removed a near-term source of uncertainty, but momentum remained muted as investors reassessed the trajectory of inflation, growth, and corporate earnings. Persistent softness in China’s economic data and renewed concerns over global demand further constrained sentiment across regions, leaving markets cautious heading into the new week.
