Markets Eye US-Iran Talks, March CPI; Volatility Stays High as Risk-On Returns
End of the week with heightened tension in financial markets. Attention is building ahead of tomorrow’s anticipated meeting between the United States and Iran, while on the macro front—after February’s PCE inflation was absorbed without surprises—markets are now waiting to see the first effects on prices in the March 2026 US CPI inflation data.
Investors appear confident despite the many uncertainties: sentiment is turning positive, risk-on returns after weeks, but volatility remains very high. Futures point to a weak opening for both Europe and the United States.

Come interpretare i nostri indicatori finanziari? Scoprilo qui.
Financial markets currently show a neutral to moderately positive sentiment. Intermarket analysis highlights a Market Health Score of 78/100 (positive). Our intermarket dashboards are registering a clear improvement signal in risk appetite indicators, with our risk-on/risk-off barometer returning to positive territory after many weeks.
Is everything resolved? Not quite. Volatility remains elevated and sources of concern are still present: the crossover between moving averages in the Oil/Gold ratio, the commodities-to-long-term Treasuries ratio still near highs, and gold continuing to be supported.
On the asset class front, it is worth noting the strong break above the 50-day moving average by both global equities and bonds—a significant recovery signal that still requires further confirmation. Volatility is increasing in commodities, which are rotating around the short-term moving average with a still upward, though more moderate, trend.
Pre-market futures: Global futures indicate a moderately risk-off sentiment (average -0.02%), with the US slightly negative (-0.03%), Europe slightly negative (-0.03%), and Asia slightly positive (+0.01%).
