The week ends with financial markets still wrapped in uncertainty
Financial markets remain uncertain at the end of the week. Once again this month, the data on the performance of the U.S. labor market will be missing and this, combined with the absence of other significant elements, leaves investors without direction. Equities and bonds appear uncertain, with volatility essentially stable.
The phase of uncertainty in financial markets continues, and our intermarket dashboards keep indicating a neutral sentiment. The S&P 500/VIX ratio remains volatile and below its annual average, while the S&P 500/Nasdaq ratio is bouncing off its lows. Meanwhile, gold continues to weaken against both the dollar and oil. Looking at asset classes, we note that both equities and bonds are trading below their short-term moving average while remaining above the 50-day average. In other words, putting everything together, the impression is that for now—absent macro data capable of guiding sentiment—markets are experiencing a cooling of indicators after months of strong acceleration.
On the macro front, today brings data on Chinese exports, Canadian employment, and U.S. consumer confidence (Michigan).
On the earnings front, results are expected from BAT, Honda, Swisscom, Qantas, and Air France, among others.
Our forecasting analyses continue to indicate a situation of uncertainty in financial markets. Mixed signals are emerging for both equities and bonds. Volatility is expected to remain stable.
