SUMMARY

Equities up, Treasuries mixed, Crude down, Dollar flat. Powell said the Fed remains data-dependent, no decisions made; BoC holds rates steady, as expected. Major stock indices were subdued on Wednesday with Powell reaffirming his hawkish view from Tuesday again in Congress, although stocks did see a bounce into the close to see SPX settle in the black. February ADP came in on the firmer side of expectations 242k (exp. 200k), but not enough to extend on recent hawkish fed pricing, instead, a wave of short-covering in stocks and Treasuries was seen after the data. However, the smaller decline than expected in January JOLTS job openings capped the upside later in the NY morning, marking further evidence of little progress in a loosening labour market.
Participants are now setting up for Thursday's 30yr bond auction. Friday's February NFP remains the highlight of the remaining week, although ahead of then on Thursday we get Chinese inflation data, US jobless claims, and Fed's Barr (v) speaking on crypto.
