Has the Federal Reserve already decided the October meeting?+
No. Reuters reported that the policy statement is due on Wednesday, at a meeting CoinDesk dated 27–28 October. The figures in this note are market prices and wire readings from Friday, not the decision.
Did the 10-year yield close above 5% on Friday?+
Not in the readings available when this note was filed. Reuters put it at 4.9945% at the European close, and Yahoo Finance’s 2:45 p.m. New York live blog said the yield had risen but was still below 5%. The US cash bond close is a separate print.
Why are the oil prices in different stories different?+
They were taken at different times by different desks. CNBC, Reuters and Yahoo Finance each published a Friday reading, and those readings do not match. The futures settlement is the number that ends the argument, and this desk does not have it.
