The U.S. Treasury's 4-week (3.910%) and 8-week (4.020%) bill auctions were absorbed stably, while the stock market closed lower due to Alphabet's plunge and software stock weakness. Meanwhile, the ECB froze interest rates, reaffirming its cautious monetary policy stance. Investors are strengthening their safe-haven preference while monitoring short-term Treasury yield spreads and upcoming inflation indicators.

DYAX 전담 분석
In the U.S. short-term Treasury auctions, smooth demand was confirmed with rates of 3.910% for the 4-week and 4.020% for the 8-week bills, but the New York stock market faced downward pressure due to a 13% plunge in Alphabet's stock price and sluggishness in the software sector. In particular, as safe-haven preferences emerged, the bond market showed strength, and macro uncertainty has increased in conjunction with the ECB's rate freeze.
If future inflation indicators exceed expectations, concerns over the Fed's additional tightening may grow, acting as downward pressure on growth stocks. On the other hand, the bond market is likely to continue its price increase (yield decline) trend based on stable demand, with key indicators to watch being the October inflation results and comments from Fed officials.
