Stock investors should not fear the inverted yield curve, strategist says
An inverted yield curve may not be a dreaded harbinger of doom for the bull market, according to Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Research, who believes that stocks have awhile to go before worrying about unseemly yield curves or even a recession. An inverted yield curve, where long-term yields such as the 10-year Treasury yield drop below their shorter-term peers, symbolizes a lack of confidence in the economy. It has also emerged as a closely watched early warning signal for economic trouble, particularly in the wake of research from the San Francisco Federal Reserve that every U.S. recession in the past 60 years was preceded by an inverted yield curve.

FOREX-Dollar up as Powell reinforces rate hike views, hits 6-mth high vs yen
The dollar was broadly higher on Wednesday, hitting a six-month high against the yen, after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gave an upbeat outlook for the U.S. economy and reinforced views that the Fed was on track to steadily hike interest rates. In closely watched congressional testimony on Tuesday, Powell said he saw the United States on course for years more of steady growth, while largely discounting the risks associated with a trade war. "The dollar stands to gain further, particularly against the yen, with risk aversion in the equity markets petering out," said Junichi Ishikawa, senior FX strategist at IG Securities in Tokyo.

After the Bell: Dow Rises 56 Points as Stocks Keep Chugging Higher
Stocks notched another day of gains on Tuesday, on a day when there was little in the way of market-moving news. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 55.53 points, or 0.22%, to 25,119.89, while the S&P 500 is up 11.12 points, or 0.40%, to 2809.55 and the Nasdaq Composite added 49.40 points, or 0.63%, to 7855.12. Part of it may have been a "no news is good news," sort of mentality, as Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell's dry testimony before the Senate Banking Committee seemed to indicate that the Central Bank was committed to staying the course and markets largely shrugged off earnings reports on a relatively quiet day.
