Daily MacroWSJ
Fresh yen weakness boosted Japanese equities overnight, but otherwise Asian trade was muted as was the start to the European session. The focus now is next week’s Federal Reserve policy meeting and Scotland’s independence referendum. Some analysts are expecting the Fed to hint that rates might start to rise a lot sooner than had been previously anticipated, maybe soon after the latest asset purchase program comes to an end next month. As for the U.K., the odds favor a no vote on Scottish independence, but with negative longer-term repercussions nonetheless as uncertainty grows about the movement’s longevity.

Six Talking PointsMarc to Market
Dollar's rally reflects a shift in expectations of Fed policy? * Many considerations that influence long-term interest rates, and Fed policy is only one of them * Unorthodox easing by central banks has depressed volatility throughout the capital markets? * Simple economic determinist explanations and predictions * Yen is the weakest of the major currencies * More talk about rising price pressures, the evidence remains elusive at best.
