Financial markets show renewed optimism driven by quarterly earnings
Financial markets are focusing on quarterly earnings and are regaining some optimism. In the background, the issue of tariffs persists, with a tense standoff between the US and India. Equities are seen trending upward, though with some uncertainty, while corporate bonds remain in good shape.
Our intermarket dashboards do not show any significant changes compared to previous analyses, except for a decline in commodities. If confirmed, this could further extend the long-term sideways trend.

On the macroeconomic front, today’s key data includes China’s PMI figures, producer price trends in the Euro area, and the ISM Services Index in the United States.
