Commodities were mostly lower in Europe.

| 04:35 EDT | | | Japan Economy Minister blamed stock fall on China
Japan Economy Minister blamed stock fall on China. Amari, who has a track record for careless comments, suggested that today's Japanese market drop was due to weak China data. He said he is not worried about today's stock market moves but is carefully watching movements. He did not think today's move reflects a change in market sentiment towards economic policy, adding that the government will continue conduct 'down to earth' policies, which included a growth strategy and fiscal consolidation. He said the stock market had risen quicker than it anticipated, adding that equities and exchange rates are linked and such a big decline in stocks can lead to yen gains. |

| 01:15 EDT | | | Asian stocks slumped
Asian stocks slumped following the fallout from Bernanke's JEC testimony and the Q&A. His testimony was relatively benign and he maintained his dovish credentials, but in the Q&A, when pushed, he was forced to admit the potential for QE tapering "in the next few meetings", depending on data. It led to sharp price swings across all asset classes and was a negative lead for Asia at the open. Adding to the correction was a very poor HSBC flash China manufacturing PMI, which came in at 49.6 in May from 50.4 in April. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index ex Japan is just over 1.5% lower on writing, while the Nikkei plunged more than 2% as USD-JPY reversed from 103.60 to under 102.50. Both the ASX and Hang Seng were also around 1.6-1.7% lower by the Asian afternoon, but the SSEC was relatively stable, up 0.1%. |

| 15:10 EDT | | | Treasury Closing Summary:
Treasury Closing Summary: Quite a wild ride on on the bond market mule Weds, after Fed Chairman Bernanke's JEC testimony was benign, but his Q&A referenced a potential QE taper "in the next few meetings" if the data cooperated. Though that was not really new, it provided cover for a fresh sell-off in Treasuries which were crowded by another heavy dose of investment grade issuance as well. The FOMC minutes threw fuel on the fire with some participants looking for a taper starting as early as June, while others were still concerned about low inflation. Stocks initially rallied, then sold off with the jump in the T-note yield to Mar highs. Existing home sales rose moderately. |

| 14:35 EDT | | | WSJ's Hilsenrath suggests FOMC does not appear to be near a consensus on when to start reducing asset purchases
WSJ's Hilsenrath suggests FOMC does not appear to be near a consensus on when to start reducing asset purchases in his blog piece, Parsing the FOMC Minutes. He cited the statement that "a number of participants expressed willingness to adjust the flow of purchases downward as earlly as June...however, views differed about what evidence would be necessary." That was our conclusion too, noting both that statement and the tone in Chairman Bernanke's JEC testimony earlier. Today's Fed events also support the notion that QE is still benefiting the economy. Plus, the recent mix of data are keeping policymakers uncertain over the path of growth, and hence policy. |
