U.S. stocks rallied as the Fed cut interest rates, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated further cuts could follow, depending on economic data. The 10-year Treasury yield initially rose on inflation fears but later declined after the Fed’s announcement.
UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces potential fiscal challenges just 10 days after publication of her budget, with rising borrowing costs and slower growth threatening her pledge to keep annual fiscal adjustments.

Bolivia’s central bank reversed new gold reserve reporting rules shortly after implementation to avoid economic destabilization concerns.
