In Overseas Markets,On the global front, the two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting concluded on Wednesday, 14 December 2016, with the US central bank hiking the interest rates by 25 basis points, an outcome that was largely factored in by the markets globally. This is the first interest rate hike for the US market since December last year.

The US Fed signalled that there could be three interest rate hikes next year, up from the two flagged in the September policy meeting, media reports suggested, which impacted the markets last week.

Global Economic News:

Markets take rate increase in stride
This week's FOMC decision to raise the federal funds rate by 25 basis points comes a full year after its last hike. While the yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond was about the same last year, the market environment was quite different then. This week's hike came amid rising euphoria in equity markets, as investors continued to reallocate from defensive and "bond-like" equity positions into riskier segments of the market. Equity market volatility is much lower this year, and there is greater dispersion among stock prices. Credit and liquidity conditions are also stronger now versus a year ago. High-yield sector spreads, for example, are compressed near their 24-month lows, signaling favorable conditions for corporate borrowers. Energy sector spreads, which peaked around 1,600 basis points this year, have recently fallen below 500 basis points, according to Strategas Research Partners.

Trump to nominate Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as secretary of state
President-elect Donald Trump this week announced his intention to nominate Exxon Mobil chief executive Rex W. Tillerson as secretary of state. The choice of Tillerson's was criticized by senators on both sides of the aisle, who object his business dealings with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. Tillerson has spent his entire career at Exxon. Trump also announced that former Texas governor Rick Perry is his choice for energy secretary.

Global currencies fall versus US dollar
The US dollar continued to strengthen this week versus most major currencies. The Japanese yen has declined 11% since the US presidential election, while the Mexican peso has fallen 10%. China's yuan has also slid, while its capital outflows have ticked up. Japan surpassed China as the largest holder of US government bonds this week. China's government has been selling foreign currency reserves in an effort to protect the yuan.

Small-business owners optimistic but still not spending on capex
The US NFIB small-business optimism index rose by 3.5 points in November to 98.4, beating consensus estimates and rising above its 42-year average. Small-business owners reported, however, that they are less optimistic about capital expenditures. Just 24% of those surveyed plan to spend on capex in the next 3 to 6 months.
