Financial markets begin to prepare for next week’s crucial events
Investors continue to balance optimism and caution at the end of the week. Financial markets are beginning to prepare for next week, which will be crucial and marked – among other things – by the Fed’s decision and the tariff deadline. Equities remain positive but with some uncertainty, while bonds are in a holding pattern.
There are no new signals from our intermarket dashboards. The market environment remains risk-on, although the upward momentum in both bonds and equities appears to be slowing, partly due to growing tension over what might happen next week.
On the macroeconomic front, today brings business confidence data from Germany, retail sales figures from the UK, and durable goods orders from the United States.
Our forecasting models still suggest a positive day for equities, albeit with slightly increased uncertainty, especially in Asia and Europe. Bonds remain in a wait-and-see mode, while commodities continue to show positive signals, particularly for copper. Volatility is expected to remain stable or decrease.
