0340 GMT - Higher U.S. Treasury yields alone may not be enough to change the Fed's policy stance, particularly if broader financial conditions remain supportive of growth, Tiger Brokers market strategist James Ooi says in a note. The Fed minutes brought few new surprises. The minutes kept another hike this year on the table, but that was broadly in line with what investors had already inferred from the dot plot, resulting in relatively muted market reaction, he adds. The minutes also suggest that the Fed doesn't appear particularly uneasy about the recent rise in long-term Treasury yields, Ooi says. Despite higher borrowing costs, policymakers generally viewed financial conditions as accommodative, with equities holding up, credit spreads remaining narrow and financing broadly available, he adds.
