Equities rise, RBA warns… but no one listens. | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

Show notes

The week started on a positive note for the global equities which continue to surf on the optimism that the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move won’t be a rate hike, which I think is overdone and that next week’s US inflation data could be a rude awakening.
In the Middle East, tensions remain. US crude remains bid near the 100-DMA – and near oversold market conditions – as Israel refused a ceasefire deal and is preparing for a big offensive in Rafah.
In central banks, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) left its policy rate unchanged today and warned that inflation is declining more slowly than expected. The USDJPY rebounds after last week’s presumed Bank of Japan (BoJ) intervention while Cable trades timidly above its own 200-DMA with the risk of seeing the recent gains melt rapidly if the Bank of England (BoE) gives a clearer sign of an approaching rate cut at this week’s meeting.
