Awaiting US Jobs Data, Markets Turn Optimistic on Middle East; Relief Rally for Bonds and Gold
he Middle East remains in the spotlight for financial markets. The optimism that resurfaced among investors yesterday lifted the bond market — at least temporarily — and gave fresh momentum to the equity rally. In a risk-on environment, though still marked by elevated volatility, markets are hoping for a near-term diplomatic solution and are preparing for the U.S. labor market data due tomorrow. Futures point to a positive opening for both Europe and the United States.
