About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of financial markets, highlighting weaknesses in technology and geopolitical uncertainties affecting sentiment.

US equity futures are weaker, Asian markets are mostly lower while European equities are softer. Markets are tilting more defensively as technology sector weakness and geopolitical uncertainty weigh on sentiment. US-Iran developments remain fluid, with ongoing diplomatic efforts but no firm resolution, while ceasefire dynamics in the region remain fragile. Trade tensions are also resurfacing after US proposed new tariffs of at least 10% over forced labor, adding another layer of uncertainty. At the same time, easing oil prices and stable yields are offering some support, though concerns around stretched valuations in technology, continued crypto weakness, and cautious consumer trends are keeping risk appetite in check despite a broadly resilient macro backdrop.
