Week ends under Middle East tensions; markets jittery, fragile hope remains
Financial markets are heading toward the close of another week marked by uncertainty and volatility. Investors are looking with hope at Trump’s decision to further delay the resumption of attacks on Iran by U.S. armed forces. The most optimistic interpretation sees this decision as a sign of emerging dialogue between the parties, with potential developments as early as the weekend.
Meanwhile, sentiment remains between neutral and moderately negative, with the main risk indicators compressed in weak zones, while global equities and bonds remain in the support area of the long-term moving average. Futures points to a moderately positive opening for both Europe and the United States.

Market Summary
Financial markets today show a moderately negative sentiment. Intermarket analysis highlights a Market Health Score of 5/100 (negative). Overall, our intermarket dashboards provide largely stable indications, continuing to signal a compression phase for risk indicators.
More interesting, and worth monitoring, is the situation across asset classes. Equities and bonds continue to test the support zone near the long-term moving average, while a clear short-term downtrend is visible in both charts. The correlation between stocks and bonds is becoming increasingly positive, while commodities are losing momentum due to weaker support from gold and oil.
Our “weather map” still shows no assets above the 50-point threshold, while a more pronounced downward direction for bonds is confirmed.
Pre-Opening Futures: Global futures indicate a moderate risk-on sentiment (average +0.24%), with the U.S. positive (+0.61%), Europe slightly positive (+0.04%), and Asia slightly positive (+0.36%).
