Markets are opening the week with hope over fears. Trump’s meeting with Putin brought no new sanctions or tensions, keeping crude under pressure — but the real spotlight is on today’s summit with Zelenskyy and key European allies as Trump will relay Moscow’s demands to end the war. Will progress be made, or will disappointment bring oil bulls back? This morning, US crude rebounds from an early dip. Equities are firm, the US dollar softer, and gold in demand as investors hedge the risks. Next hours will be important for sentiment and direction.
Besides Trump, eyes will turn to Powell’s...

Markets are betting big on Fed rate cuts — with September odds split between a 25bp trim and whispers of a jumbo 50bp move. Softer CPI data fuelled dovish bets, but today’s PPI report could throw cold water on the frenzy if tariff-led costs push prices higher. Bond yields are testing recent lows, the dollar is down for a third straight session, and Bitcoin’s at fresh records. US stocks hit new highs, with small- and mid-caps rallying on lower-rate hopes, while Nvidia slipped after CoreWeave’s bigger-than-expected loss. Abroad, the Nikkei fell on BoJ hike talk, but Japanese tech still looks...

Trump extended the tariff truce with China – which was set to expire today – by 90 more days, announced that gold will finally not be tariffed, and confirmed that Nvidia and AMD will pay the US government a 15% cut of their Chinese sales. He also said that his upcoming talk with the Russian President Putin will hardly lead to a sustainable truce if Ukraine doesn’t cede territory.
As a result, Chinese chipmaker SMIC is better bid today, gold and crude oil rebound, while equities futures are timidly in the positive ahead of the all-important US CPI release due...

This week starts with optimism in global markets as Asian indices and US futures open higher. The S&P 500 just posted its strongest week since June, driven by solid earnings and hopes for progress in Ukraine. Trade tensions have eased somewhat, boosting European stocks. Energy markets are under pressure, with oil prices in a bearish zone after breaking key support levels, though upside risks prevail.
Big news: Nvidia and AMD plan to pay the US government 15% of their Chinese chip sales to reduce export-restriction risks and gain more revenue transparency. This unusual move raises questions about national security priorities...

European stocks rallied on Trump-fueled hopes of brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine—but that optimism is fading fast. Defense names slid after Rheinmetall’s disappointing results, while BAE and Leonardo offered mixed signals. Meanwhile, Switzerland left Washington with no tariff relief, and a 39% levy looms over exports.
In the US, oil broke below $65pb, jobless claims surged, and inflation expectations jumped—classic stagflation territory. Yet markets are betting on more Federal Reserve (Fed) cuts, especially with Stephen Miran expected to replace Adriana Kugler and Christopher Waller floated as the next Fed Chair.
Tech continues to be the market’s virtual comfort zone,...

Tariff news is anything but soothing. Allies are spooked. Apple’s throwing $600 billion on the table — just to keep Trump calm. Welcome to The Trump Order — where global trade bends to one man’s will.
India and Switzerland are caught in the crosshairs of aggressive new tariffs. Big Pharma could face duties of up to 250%. Apple is rushing to shift iPhone production to the U.S., but these relocations will likely accelerate AI adoption rather than boost jobs.
Meanwhile, demand for U.S. bonds weakened this week — but yields remain contained as the Fed faces pressure to cut rates...
