Financial markets attempt to regain footing amid earnings season and monetary policy decisions

Financial markets attempt to regain footing after several turbulent sessions, as investors await another round of heavyweight earnings (AMD today, followed later in the week by Amazon and Alphabet).

Attention is focused on global bonds, which have slipped below their medium-term moving average, and on the Reserve Bank of Australia, which has returned to raising interest rates. Overall sentiment remains neutral, while futures point to a mildly positive open for both European and U.S. equities.
