Financial Markets Await Central Banks, Heavyweight Earnings Reports
Financial markets remain in a neutral zone. Sentiment is still tilted toward risk-on, but uncertainty surrounding the negotiations between the US and Iran, along with anticipation ahead of central bank decisions and earnings releases, is keeping investors on hold; the result is a sort of standstill. Futures point to a flat open for both Europe and the United States.

Financial markets sentiment
Financial markets are showing a neutral sentiment today. Intermarket analysis highlights a Market Health Score of 70/100 (positive). Our intermarket dashboards continue to signal a situation of substantial stalemate: on one hand, risk appetite indicators remain in positive territory; on the other, oil is regaining ground versus gold, while the Commodities / T30 ratio remains compressed near its highs. In other words, the market’s existing risk-on potential is currently being restrained by inflation expectations that could threaten demand.
Asset classes confirm this picture, with both global equities and bonds remaining above their medium-term moving averages, but showing much less momentum and increased volatility.
