The US dollar is back under pressure as investors brace for a crucial week with US jobs data and US government shutdown suspense. Gold and silver continue their rally, Chinese stocks surge with Alibaba leading the AI charge. The EURUSD is better bid into early September CPI updates expected to show a slight uptick in headline figures and oil is drilling above the $65pb but bulls are timid after OP...

Markets are still digesting yesterday’s blockbuster US GDP report — growth came in at 3.8%, the fastest pace in nearly two years, and far above expectations. Strong data may look like good news, but for investors it complicates the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) path: if the economy is still running hot, do we really need rate cuts this year? Yields climbed, the dollar strengthened and equities slipped f...

Markets hit pause as investors take profits after the recent rally, while AI news steals the spotlight. Nvidia’s $100 bn investment in OpenAI and OpenAI’s $400 bn plan for five new US data centers show where capital is flowing—but not everyone is rushing in. Micron smashed earnings expectations with AI-driven revenue and soaring cloud memory margins, yet its stock slipped 3% as some investors cash...

Markets leaned dovish after Jerome Powell’s latest speech, as the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair refused to commit to a rate cut at next month’s meeting. Powell highlighted the downside risks to the jobs market and the upside risks to inflation, painting a mixed picture that calls for careful adjustment. Still, bond markets reacted with lower yields and traders now price a 94% chance of an October cu...

Every time you think the AI rally has topped out, it finds another gear. Nvidia hit a fresh all-time high after reports it’s deepening its partnership with OpenAI to build massive new data centers — we’re talking about 10 gigawatts of capacity, the scale of ten nuclear reactors. A genius move: OpenAI needs Nvidia chips, and Nvidia is making sure it gets both the sales and the strategic tie. Elsewh...

Markets kicked off the week on a mixed note. Last week’s Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut gave equities a boost, but news that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) may begin reducing its ETF holdings added some caution. But Wall Street shrugged it off, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting fresh record highs, while the Nikkei and European indices saw modest pressure. Nikkei is up this morning, but equities in Chin...

US markets hit fresh all-time highs yesterday after the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut rates, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones rallying, and small caps jumping 2.5%. Europe also rebounded, despite the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) holding rates steady. But while the champagne flowed in the US, Japanese equities woke up with a hangover: the Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept rate...

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has finally pulled the trigger on rate cuts — 25bps down, with two more likely this year. But the dot plot reveals deep divisions inside the Fed for next year: some see no further moves, a few even expect hikes, while others want far steeper cuts. For now, the message is clear: the Fed is not bending to political pressure, and markets are left guessing what comes next. St...

US markets keep breaking records as the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move takes center stage. Will Powell stick to the dovish script, or surprise with a tougher stance? Futures are already pricing multiple rate cuts this year, all eyes are on the dot plot! Across the Atlantic, the Stoxx 600 fell yesterday on bank and insurer weakness, while sterling is supported by mixed jobs and inflation data th...

Another record day for the S&P 500, fueled by strong earnings and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) looming policy easing. Last quarter, S&P 500 companies grew earnings by ~13%, yet exclude Big Tech, growth was only 3 4%. A third of the index is dominated by Big Tech, with Nvidia alone accounting for ~8%, creating an ecosystem that keeps tech-heavy indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in demand even amid...

have traders bracing for the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) first rate cut this year on Wednesday — with expectations building for a full easing cycle ahead. The dollar stays under pressure, US 2-year yield hovers near year lows, and equities are pushing higher with the S&P 500 hitting fresh records. Elsewhere, diverging policy paths are in focus: the European Central Bank (ECB) signals an end to easing,...

Markets are buzzing after fresh US data paved the way for next week’s Federal Reserve (Fed) cut. CPI was broadly in line, but soaring jobless claims – the highest in four years – kept the weakening labour market in the spotlight. The Fed is almost certain to deliver a 25bp cut, with odds of larger move fading, however, as inflation pressures in food and energy still linger. Equities cheered the pr...

Markets remain in a bullish mood after the latest US PPI report signaled easing price pressures in August. Yields slipped, the S&P 500 hit new highs, and AI stocks stole the spotlight — Oracle soared on a massive OpenAI deal, Nvidia gained on strong TSMC sales, while CoreWeave rallied nearly 17%. But not every tech name is thriving: Synopsys plunged, reminding investors that trade war risks are fa...

US jobs are worse than they seem, and the Federal Reserve (Fed) may have already fallen behind the curve. But will this trigger bigger or faster rate cuts? It depends on inflation. US August PPI is out today, and tomorrow we get CPI – the numbers will set the tone for US rates, the dollar and equities. Elsewhere, tech stocks are in focus with Apple slipping post-iPhone reveal and Nebius jumping 50...

France’s government just collapsed after a no-confidence vote — but markets barely blinked. European markets are under some pressure this morning but the euro is holding its ground. Why are investors so calm while French politics descend into gridlock? Have the risks already been priced in, or is a sudden shock still waiting around the corner, just like the UK’s mini-budget meltdown back in 2022?...

The US economy added just 22,000 jobs last month – a big miss versus expectations. The unemployment rate climbed to 4.3% and revisions showed job losses in June. Manufacturing shed another 12K jobs, hinting at deeper cracks. Markets now believe the Fed has no choice: rate cuts are coming, probably more than one, and maybe more than 50bp. But here’s the twist – inflation is still muted, even as tar...

Markets are bracing for a decisive US jobs report that could set the stage for the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move. Yesterday’s weak ADP print, higher jobless claims and softer labour signals from ISM all point to a cooling jobs market—boosting risk appetite as investors bet on rate cuts. The S&P 500 climbed back near record highs, while yields slipped across the curve, with the 30-year at 4.84%...

Global markets kicked off September on shaky ground. Equities and bonds sold off across the board, with US, European and Asian indices under pressure as long-term yields pushed toward multi-decade highs. Investors are demanding bigger returns for holding debt weighed down by soaring deficits, sticky inflation and political gridlock — leaving corporate valuations exposed. But while traditional asse...

Markets kicked off the week in slow motion with US and Canadian exchanges shut for Labour Day — but Alibaba’s AI-fuelled surge sent the Hang Seng higher, while in Europe, PMI data offered a glimpse of recovery despite French political risks still casting a long shadow. Gold blasted through fresh records, silver soared to levels not seen in over a decade, and oil bulls are circling key resistance o...
