About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of US equity futures, bond yields, and market sentiment amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

US equity futures are softer with the S&P down. Bonds are firmer, as the US 10-year yield drops 2 bps to 4.5% following yields fell 3-4 bps in prior session. Gilts fall 2 bps to 4.9%, while the Bund softens by 1 bp to 3.1%. The dollar is weaker. Oil edges down slightly, with WTI crude near $72/bbl. Gold is lower, while Bitcoin shows gains. European and Asian equity markets are mostly firmer. European markets are finding support after the US refrained from launching a third consecutive day of strikes against Iran. Sentiment earlier this week was shaken by rising tensions, which triggered a sharp rally in oil prices and a rise in interest rates, reigniting concerns about inflation and growth risks. As a result, sell-side strategists are becoming increasingly divided on the outlook for European markets. Some analysts point to vulnerabilities stemming from Europe’s limited exposure to AI and heightened sensitivity to oil-driven volatility, given the region’s reliance on imported oil.
