About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of financial markets, focusing on equity futures, geopolitical risks, and upcoming corporate developments.

US equity futures are lower, Asian markets are sharply lower while European equities are mostly weaker. Markets remain focused on the ongoing unwind in momentum and semiconductor trades, with profit-taking and concerns around elevated capex continuing to weigh on sentiment. Geopolitical risks remain a secondary overhang, with Middle East tensions and broader policy uncertainty contributing to a cautious tone, while expectations for central bank policy are stabilising as inflation pressures show signs of easing. Attention is now turning to upcoming corporate developments and macro data for further direction on growth and rate expectations. Companies Mentioned: PayPal, BP, ConocoPhillips, Array Technologies
