A harsh lesson

Stock markets have stabilized a little after Tuesday's rout which saw risk assets pummelled across the board. There appears to have been a tendency in recent months to front-run certain releases in the hope that it's going to prove to be the "pivot" moment when everything starts to look up, central banks can ease off the brake and risk assets will have bottomed. That certainly looks to have been the case over the last week as investors were lured into a false sense of security following the July

Scorching inflation report, done deal for Fed to go 75bp in Sept and probably also in November, dollar surges, bitcoin plunges

US stocks are crumbling after a very hot inflation has Wall Street nervous that they were too optimistic in forecasting the end of the Fed’s tightening cycle. Markets are no longer confident that the Fed will only deliver a 75bp increase this month, a half-point increase in November and a 25-basis-point increase in December. The Fed will likely have to be even more aggressive with raising rates and that is bad news for risky assets.

Wall street eyes US inflation report US stocks are rising as investors anticipate inflation to show even further signs of slowing and as Ukraine’s counteroffensive gains momentum in the East.

Risk rebound continues

European stocks are off to a positive start on Monday, following a relatively muted day in Asia amid bank holiday closures in China, Hong Kong and South Korea. UK growth continues to struggle The UK economy grew slightly less than expected in July, with growth supported by consumer-facing services on the back of the Women's EUROs and the Commonwealth Games. With the additional bank holiday this month, the economy could be facing a small technical recession, albeit one that won't be nearly as bad

Back to school, ECB signals more hikes to come, Powell sticks to hawkish script, Bitcoin hovers around $19k

Parents are rejoicing back to school time and Wall Street is embracing the consistency in the Fed’s messaging that they will keep at it until the job is done with inflation. Stocks are rising after Fed Chair Powell stuck to his hawkish script and affirmed the commitment to tighten policy until inflation is back towards its target.

ECB just getting started

A mixed session in Asia overnight after Wall Street rebounded on Wednesday, while Europe is poised to open a little higher as well. It's been a frankly awful few weeks for stock markets so yesterday's gains will come as a mild relief, albeit one I don't think anyone is getting particularly excited about. Given the economic backdrop, this could be nothing more than a dead cat bounce.

Stocks rebound as yields drop, dollar domination trade, BOC downshifts hikes, crypto insolvencies

US stocks are rebounding as the global bond market selloff takes a break. Economic momentum remains for the US economy and that could only improve if inflation continues to soften.

Risk aversion remains strong

Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday as trade data from China weighed on sentiment, while Europe is also lower amid heightened economic uncertainty. Trade data another blow Chinese imports and exports slumped much more than expected last month as the economy continued to stall under the weight of Covid lockdowns, heatwaves, a property market wobble, slower global demand and a weaker yuan. The headwinds facing the Chinese economy are becoming increasingly fierce and recent efforts to sho

US Close – September Swoon, OPEC+ bounce faded, Gold back in danger zone, Bitcoin jitters, Memes under pressure

The September swoon is in play as a resilient economy paves the way for more Fed tightening. Stocks are going to struggle because too much of the economy is doing well and that leaves Wall Street vulnerable to an extended period of rising interest rates.

Steady after a rocky start

It's been a mixed start to trade on Tuesday, similar to what we saw in Asia overnight, and as we await the return of the US after the long bank holiday weekend. Europe in particular was rattled on Monday by the Gazprom announcement that came after the close on Friday in relation to Nord Stream 1. The latest move in the apparent weaponisation of energy supplies has once more created huge uncertainty ahead of the winter.

A welcome US jobs report

Investors appear relatively pleased with the jobs report despite some initial choppy trade following the release. Nonfarm payrolls nudges above forecast The headline NFP figure was a little larger than expected at 315,000 which may have created that initial unease as a knockout report could have effectively paved the way for a 75 basis point rate hike this month. But once you dig a little deeper, there are aspects of the report that will please the Fed and support the case for easing off the bra

All eyes on the jobs report

Stock markets in Europe opened positively on Friday after what has been an otherwise rotten week, while Asia was fairly mixed ahead of the US jobs report. It will be interesting to see whether Europe can maintain the rebound today considering we're heading into the weekend not certain that gas will start flowing through Nord Stream 1 again tomorrow. Grid data suggests it will but until the gas starts actually flowing, it remains a risk.

Sell in September, US data impresses, dollar can't be stopped, Bitcoin below $20k

It seems most of Wall Street believes September will be a month we won’t want to remember. We are less than two weeks away from a pivotal inflation report and three weeks from the FOMC meeting. The repositioning of portfolios is just beginning as the Fed accelerates the balance sheet runoff, while we are barely seeing signs that real economy is starting to feel the impact of tightening. US stocks are declining after another round of strong labor and manufacturing data confirm the Fed’s hawki

Off to a bad start

There's been a lot of economic data to digest so far on Thursday and yet nothing has really changed as far as markets are concerned, with September kicking off as August ended. We've rapidly transitioned from pivot-induced euphoria to recession anxiety. All because central bank policymakers have repeated messages that their colleagues delivered prior to Jackson Hole but were then ignored.

Stocks drop ahead of NFP, the new ADP, China weakens, Oh Snap, bitcoin fights to hold $20k

US stocks are weakening ahead of a key labor market report that should pave the way for further aggressive rate hikes by the Fed. US Data So it begins. The labor market is cooling as private payrolls clearly showed a more conservative pace of hiring. ADP’s new methodology was in place and showed job growth slowed for a second-consecutive month as companies added the fewest jobs since early 2021. After taking a month, the ADP report showed the change in US private employment rose by 132,000

Sentiment slips in Europe

Stock markets in Europe turned lower again on Wednesday while US futures are more mixed, similar to what we saw in Asia overnight. Conditions remain choppy in the aftermath of Jackson Hole last week. There's clearly a lack of conviction in the markets following a lot of hawkish central bank commentary in recent days.

Stocks turn negative, US data supports further large rate hikes, Hungary hikes, bitcoin declines as risk aversion firmly in place

Turnaround Tuesday disappeared faster than dessert does at the Moya household. US stocks turned negative after confidence and job opening data supported the argument for the Fed to stick to an aggressive stance in fighting inflation.

A curious rebound

Stock markets are bouncing back on Tuesday following a rocky couple of weeks as investors grew nervous about the economic impact of tightening. Fed Chair Jerome Powell could not have been more clear on Friday on the central bank's tightening stance and unlike the warnings from his colleagues, the message appeared to have finally gotten through. Which makes today's move all the more curious. It's not the fact that we're seeing a rebound as equity markets don't move in straight lines, rather it's
