Uncertain times
Equity markets are back in the green on Friday after a choppy week in which the recovery rally has stalled. Efforts by Fed policymakers to manage market expectations have cooled the sense of immense relief that has delivered a strong rebound over the last month. The S&P was up more than 15% at one point while the Dow jumped more than 18%.

Stalled rebound
The risk rebound in the markets has stalled and equity markets are down around 1% on Thursday following quite a good run over the last month. The day we've all been waiting for The Autumn Statement has been a long time coming after the disastrous mini-budget almost two months ago. The UK's fiscal credibility was in the gutter, the pound was crushed and borrowing costs soared.

BoE facing tough decisions
Equity markets are looking slightly positive in early trade on Tuesday, adding to modest gains at the start of the week. While the rally is perhaps slowing a little after the strong gains of recent weeks, there doesn't appear to be much appetite at this stage to bail on it. Perhaps the experience of the last year and the huge declines in equity markets have left investors seeing substantial value and they've become excited at even the prospect of a bull run.

Yields rise on Fed speak, stocks edge lower, what-the-FTX is happening with cryptos?
Bond yields marched higher after Fed’s Waller said the Fed has ‘a ways to go’ before pausing their rate hiking cycle. ​ US stocks are declining after the latest Fed speak pushes back on the idea that the Fed is almost done hiking and after President Biden and Xi’s first in-person meeting delivered the standard rhetoric about avoiding a cold war.

A choppy start
It's been quite a choppy start to the trading week, with much of the focus on China where Covid relaxation measures and property market support have brought some relief. Unfortunately, both come at a time of record Covid infections in major cities including Beijing and Guangzhou. And those relaxation measures that were announced are not ambitious enough to make any difference in those cities seeing rising cases which means activity is going to weaken. There is hope that China could further relax

The great deceleration
Equity markets are on course to end the week on a positive after Thursday's US inflation report gave hope that the great deceleration is well underway. That inflation report has been some time coming and investors breathed an enormous sigh of relief in response. The reaction to the number looks a little extreme, overdone even, but in fairness, investors have waited a long time for the chance to do that and so much negativity has been priced in during that time. The fact that equity markets are i

Hope fades ahead of CPI data
We're seeing some risk aversion in financial markets on Thursday as we await inflation data from the US later in the week. It probably won't come as a surprise to many that we're seeing stock markets in the red considering how well they've performed in recent days and weeks. It would appear we've seen a lot of buying on the hope of a Fed pivot and some weaker inflation and labour market figures. Well, the Fed kind of pivoted but indicated that the terminal rate may be higher.

Stocks ease as US midterm results filter in
Equity markets are mixed on Wednesday as investors continue to watch events unfold in the US for a sense of what impact they'll have on sentiment. The impact of the midterms will probably be short-lived, if impactful at all, as far as markets are concerned. Of course, the political implications may be significant if Democrats can manage to retain control of the House and Senate but at this stage, only one of those looks plausible which means deadlock in Washington. The bigger takeaway from the e

Caution ahead of midterms and inflation data
A cautious start to trading on Tuesday, with investors seemingly having one eye on midterm results in the US and another on Thursday's inflation data. It's hard to see past both of these things this week. The question for many is whether investors will respond positively to the deadlock in Washington.

Midterms matter; all about CPI, bitcoin rally stalls
US stocks edged higher as Wall Street awaits both the midterm elections which could bring an end to President Biden’s blue wave and a pivotal inflation report. Tuesday’s US midterm elections could be market-moving if we see a Democratic surprise or if Republicans dominate the polls, but most traders are zeroing in on Thursday’s inflation report.

A choppy start to the week
It's been a relatively lackluster start to the trading week, following the one previous that was anything but. There's no doubt that the last seven days have left investors with plenty to work out and the jobs report on Friday yielded a response in the markets which probably sums up how confused investors appear right now. It was another hot report with little in it to suggest we're seeing cracks appearing that will deliver the slack that the Fed thinks it needs. Trade around the report was vola

More rate hikes coming
Equity markets are coming under some pressure on Thursday, with Asia mostly in the red and Europe poised to open almost a percentage point lower. Chinese stocks are among the worst hit after the National Health Commission sought to quash rumours on social media that the country is studying ways to exit Covid-zero. That sparked a strong rally earlier this week which has only partly been reversed following the clarification. Perhaps that's a sign of how low stocks have fallen that investors are ke
