  • Investors ended the week on a slight risk-off sentiment. With no major macroeconomic data releases on either side of the Atlantic, traders seemed to consolidate the gains made on Thursday following the Fed's large rate cut amid a heavy trading environment as Friday was the quarterly expiration date for several options.
  • Money market rates fell on both sides of the Atlantic, particularly in the US, while government bond yields rose slightly. In the eurozone, peripheral spreads narrowed, with the exception of France, whose spread widened on rumours that the country's budget deficit could widen to as much as 6% of GDP.
  • Equity markets fell across the Atlantic and, in the currency markets, the dollar strengthened against the yen after the BoJ left interest rates unchanged and appeared in no hurry to raise them further. In commodities, oil prices fell slightly while the European natural gas benchmark TTF rose on forecasts for colder weather in Europe at the end of next week.
