The US president has provided details on the plan to reboot the world’s biggest economy

Ten-year US treasuries, which had suffered their biggest sell-off in a dozen years last quarter, remained under pressure and yields crept as high as 1.753%, while the dollar stood just shy of a one-year peak on the yen at 110.685. “And if anything, the higher taxes probably limit future inflationary pressure, and in a strange way might even help bond yields to stabilise where they are.”

“We’re just seeing a bit of momentum in people picking up some of the left-behind sectors, which is growth, and that will flow through into Asia.”US markets had closed out the quarter with gains — the S&P 500 rose 5.8% and the Dow Jones 7.8% over the three months — however, the 4.1% quarterly rise in world stocks was the slowest since the recovery from last March’s meltdown had begun.

There are also other signs of fragility in sentiment and rising risk. The flop listing of food delivery company Deliveroo, which fell by nearly a third on debut in London, is a far cry from the frenzy that sent US new-economy names Airbnb and DoorDash soaring on debut in 2020.
