Financial Markets Rebound, Yet Caution Lingers Ahead of October U.S. Quarterly Results
Financial markets are recovering after last weekend’s slip, though a veil of caution remains—something the first U.S. quarterly earnings reports of October (with major investment banks’ results expected today) may try to blow away. Meanwhile, the bond market is regaining strength, and the rally in gold (and silver) continues.
Equity markets are partially rebounding from Friday’s sudden drop. Market sentiment remains in risk-on territory, but indicators have yet to recover their annual averages. Amid all this, gold continues to advance, while bonds are showing renewed upward momentum.
On the macro front, today brings U.K. employment data, German analyst sentiment, Australian private sector confidence, and an important speech by J. Powell.
On the earnings front, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Wells Fargo will kick off the new corporate earnings season.
Our forecast analyses still point to a convalescent phase for equity markets, with signs of recovery but valuations remaining under pressure. The outlook remains positive for gold and the U.S. dollar index, while silver is surging and pushing indicators into overbought territory. In the bond market, positive signals emerge for both government and corporate debt prices. Volatility continues to rise.
