Market Summary
Financial markets currently display a neutral to moderately negative sentiment. Intermarket analysis highlights a Market Health Score of 48/100 (neutral). Two charts from our intermarket dashboards illustrate how delicate the current moment is.
The Oil/Gold ratio is jumping sharply higher, returning to levels not seen since last summer, and more importantly it has broken above the 200-day moving average—typically considered a strong bullish signal. At the same time, the ratio between commodities and long-term U.S. Treasury bonds has reached a new high.
Commodities are the key drivers of the current phase in financial markets, while risk-appetite indicators remain weak and the other two major asset classes—equities and global bonds—are testing support at the 50-day moving average.
Pre-Market Futures: Global futures indicate a moderate risk-on sentiment (average +0.30%), with the U.S. slightly positive (+0.30%), Europe slightly negative (-0.15%), and Asia strongly positive (+1.63%).
