Financial markets head toward a risk-off end to the week
The week draws to a close on a distinctly nervous note for financial markets, with investors shifting into risk-off mode and selling down the technology sector, where profit expectations have become more uncertain amid rising AI-related costs. On the macro front, the release of US labour market data has been postponed to 13 February. Futures point to another weak opening for both European and US markets.

Market Summary
How to interpret our financial indicators? Find out here.
Market sentiment today is moderately negative. Intermarket analysis shows a Market Health Score of 44/100 (moderately bearish). Among the more noteworthy signals from our intermarket dashboards are developments in risk ratios: the S&P 500/VIX has fallen back to its November lows, while the S&P 500/Nasdaq has broken above its 200-day moving average, climbing to highs last seen at the end of last summer. The latter is a clear sign of the ongoing sector rotation in the US, with technology stocks (score 46.8/100) under heavy pressure. Another point of interest is gold, which appears to have lost momentum. Major asset classes are showing a marked slowdown in trend strength, with global equities resting on their medium-term moving average, bonds locked in an increasingly evident sideways phase, and commodities weighed down by heightened volatility — remarkably driven by precious metals.
Futures – Pre-Market: Global futures signal a moderate risk-off sentiment (average -0.05%), with the US slightly positive (+0.04%), Europe moderately negative (-0.19%) and Asia slightly positive (+0.25%).
