An Eventful Week Ahead for Financial Markets
A particularly interesting week is opening up for financial markets, with many factors capable of influencing their performance. From the outcome of the Japanese elections (bonds), to the earnings reports of several major companies (Tesla, Google, Coca-Cola, etc.). Not to mention the exhausting tariff negotiations between the US and the EU (hanging by a thread, according to the latest reports) and the ongoing long-distance confrontation between Trump and Powell. Equities are expected to start the week with uncertainty, while US yields continue to rise.
Our intermarket dashboards continue to signal a relatively stable situation, with a “risk-on” sentiment still prevailing in the markets.
On the macroeconomic front, the day offers few insights, with China’s prime loan rate decision and Canada’s PPI being the only noteworthy events.
Earnings season kicks off the week with Verizon’s results.
Our forecast analysis points to an uncertain start of the week for equity markets, with some positive signals and many situations still in a wait-and-see mode. On the bond side, positive indications for US Treasury yields and Euro-denominated corporate bonds. The dollar continues to show positive signals. Volatility is expected to remain stable.
