Market Summary
How to interpret our financial indicators? Find out here.
Today, financial markets show a neutral to slightly positive sentiment. Intermarket analysis highlights a Market Health Score of 44/100 (moderately negative). Our intermarket dashboards continue to signal an environment that remains uncertain and directionless. This is evidenced by the highly volatile behavior of risk indicators, now compressed around the 200-day average, as well as by the persistent strength of gold.
However, as we have already noted, the three main asset classes continue to confirm their medium-term trends, and we can still describe the current phase—primarily affecting equities and commodities—as short-term turbulence.
Pre-Opening Futures: Global futures indicate a moderate risk-on sentiment (average +0.03%), with the U.S. slightly negative (-0.36%), Europe slightly positive (+0.14%), and Asia slightly positive (+0.22%).
