Financial Markets Uncertain Amid Middle East Crisis and FED Decision
Financial markets continue to monitor developments in the Middle East crisis and the potential consequences for global inflation. Today is also FED day, but expectations point to a postponement of any interest rate cut. Equity markets are in a wait-and-see phase; the US dollar remains weak while the Swiss Franc is strengthening.
Intermarket dashboards show few changes. The situation remains largely stable, and the trends observed in recent weeks continue to hold. The surge in gold and oil is affecting the performance of the commodity index.
On the macroeconomic front, all eyes are on the FED’s decision. If expectations are confirmed, the anticipated rate cut will be delayed once again. Attention is also on UK inflation data and new residential construction figures in the US.
Our forecast analyses indicate an uncertain day for equity markets, with few clearly positive signals. The situation remains tentative for US government bond yields as well, while in the currency market the dollar stays weak and the Swiss Franc remains strong. Expected volatility is stable for equities and rising for bonds.
