Asian shares retreated on Thursday as a gloomy outlook from the U.S. Federal Reserve challenged market optimism on the global economy, while bonds rallied on speculation that yet more stimulus would be needed to ensure recovery.

E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 fell 1.5% to extend an overnight pullback on Wall Street, while EUROSTOXX 50 futures lost 2.2% and FTSE futures 1.7%. As a result, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said he was “not even thinking about thinking about raising rates”. Instead, he emphasised recovery would be a long road and that policy would have to be proactive with rates near zero out to 2022.

Powell confirmed the Fed was studying yield curve control, a form of easing already employed by Japan and Australia.
