Financial markets: the week ends amid doubts over Fed moves and the health of the U.S. economy
Financial markets are heading into the close of a week marked by uncertainty, only partially “saved” by the end of the federal shutdown in the U.S. The focus now shifts back to the health of the American economy and the Federal Reserve’s next moves. Equities remain uncertain, U.S. yields are recovering, gold is rebounding, and volatility is stable.
Our intermarket dashboards continue to indicate a neutral environment in terms of investor sentiment. The main risk-on/risk-off indicators remain highly volatile, while gold is regaining ground against the dollar. All three major asset classes show signs of slowing momentum; medium-term trends remain unchanged, and in the short term equities and bonds continue to fluctuate around their fast moving average.
On the macroeconomic front, today’s calendar includes China’s October industrial production and retail sales data, the second estimate of third-quarter 2025 growth in the Euro Area, and third-quarter 2025 employment trends, also for the Eurozone.
Our forward-looking analyses point to a day marked by uncertainty in equity markets, with slightly more upside potential for European indices. At the same time, we observe positive signals in U.S. Treasury yields, and both gold and the dollar are back in positive territory. Volatility remains stable.
