▸ Wall Street reacts in muted fash­ion after Trump threat to fire Fed’s Cook

▸ Investors sell long-dated Treas­ur­ies but buy shorter-term US debt

▸ European stocks fall on pro­spect of renewed polit­ical tur­moil in France

US stock mar­kets were muted yes­ter­day des­pite Pres­id­ent Don­ald Trump's renewed attacks on the coun­try's cent­ral bank.

Trump said on Monday even­ing that he would fire US Fed­eral Reserve gov­ernor Lisa Cook, “effect­ive imme­di­ately”. Cook has said she will remain in her post and chal­lenge any attempt to remove her.

Des­pite warn­ings that Trump's move could under­mine the abil­ity of the world's most import­ant cent­ral bank to con­trol infla­tion, equity mar­kets were little changed.

The blue-chip S&P 500 index was flat by early after­noon in New York while the Nas­daq Com­pos­ite was 0.2 per cent higher.

“The muted ini­tial reac­tion to this escal­a­tion may reflect Trump's prior com­ments fore­shad­ow­ing the move, as well as lim­ited con­vic­tion on whether Trump has the legal grounds to fol­low through on the threat,” said Ulrike Hoff­mann-Burch­ardi, global head of equit­ies at UBS Global Wealth Man­age­ment.
