Markets are still digesting yesterday’s blockbuster US GDP report — growth came in at 3.8%, the fastest pace in nearly two years, and far above expectations. Strong data may look like good news, but for investors it complicates the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) path: if the economy is still running hot, do we really need rate cuts this year? Yields climbed, the dollar strengthened and equities slipped from record highs as traders reassessed.
Today, all eyes are on the Fed’s favourite inflation gauge, the core PCE. A softer print could revive risk appetite and give gold some breathing space, while a...

Markets hit pause as investors take profits after the recent rally, while AI news steals the spotlight. Nvidia’s $100 bn investment in OpenAI and OpenAI’s $400 bn plan for five new US data centers show where capital is flowing—but not everyone is rushing in. Micron smashed earnings expectations with AI-driven revenue and soaring cloud memory margins, yet its stock slipped 3% as some investors cashed in after a 170% rally since April.
Across the globe, Alibaba continues to climb, testing 2021 highs, as Chinese tech funds fuel momentum. But valuation gap with US peers is narrowing!
Today, all eyes are on the...

Markets leaned dovish after Jerome Powell’s latest speech, as the Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair refused to commit to a rate cut at next month’s meeting. Powell highlighted the downside risks to the jobs market and the upside risks to inflation, painting a mixed picture that calls for careful adjustment. Still, bond markets reacted with lower yields and traders now price a 94% chance of an October cut.
Equities pulled back from record highs, but the underlying story hasn’t changed: the Fed is easing into a resilient economy, corporate earnings remain strong and inflation is sticky but manageable. In Europe, PMIs...

Every time you think the AI rally has topped out, it finds another gear. Nvidia hit a fresh all-time high after reports it’s deepening its partnership with OpenAI to build massive new data centers — we’re talking about 10 gigawatts of capacity, the scale of ten nuclear reactors. A genius move: OpenAI needs Nvidia chips, and Nvidia is making sure it gets both the sales and the strategic tie. Elsewhere, Oracle rallied 6% on news it will secure TikTok’s US algorithm. Together, Big Tech pushed US indices to new highs, while non-tech sectors lagged. In bonds, the 2-year yield rose...

Markets kicked off the week on a mixed note. Last week’s Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut gave equities a boost, but news that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) may begin reducing its ETF holdings added some caution. But Wall Street shrugged it off, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting fresh record highs, while the Nikkei and European indices saw modest pressure. Nikkei is up this morning, but equities in China are down on no major clarity on US-China trade war, while massive rise in H-1B visa costs are weighing on Indian tech stocks this morning.
The US dollar is...

US markets hit fresh all-time highs yesterday after the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut rates, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones rallying, and small caps jumping 2.5%. Europe also rebounded, despite the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) holding rates steady. But while the champagne flowed in the US, Japanese equities woke up with a hangover: the Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept rates unchanged but announced it will start selling ¥330bn in ETFs per year, dampening sentiment and sending the Nikkei down more than 2%. The ripple effects could hit global risk appetite, push long-term...

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has finally pulled the trigger on rate cuts — 25bps down, with two more likely this year. But the dot plot reveals deep divisions inside the Fed for next year: some see no further moves, a few even expect hikes, while others want far steeper cuts. For now, the message is clear: the Fed is not bending to political pressure, and markets are left guessing what comes next.
Stocks wobbled, yields bounced and the dollar bounced back from the year lows, but sentiment is getting bullish as investors digest the news, and the dollar could claim...

US markets keep breaking records as the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move takes center stage. Will Powell stick to the dovish script, or surprise with a tougher stance? Futures are already pricing multiple rate cuts this year, all eyes are on the dot plot!
Across the Atlantic, the Stoxx 600 fell yesterday on bank and insurer weakness, while sterling is supported by mixed jobs and inflation data that suggest that the Bank of England (BoE) will likely stay cautious this week, as the ECB signals it may be done cutting for now—paving the way for the EURUSD to push toward...
