Cautious end to the week
It promises to be a fascinating end to the week as European equity markets steady and US futures pare losses amid planned talks between the US and Russia next week. Risk aversion swept through the markets on Thursday as the perceived risk of a Russian invasion of Ukraine rose. Much like the weather here in London, Friday was shaping up to be rather treacherous in the markets, that is until US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accepted an invitation to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Heightened invasion fears has Wall Street selling everything, US data, bitcoin tumbles
US stocks did not stand a chance today as risk aversion violently returned on growing fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine and after an impressive earnings report from Walmart suggested the consumer is strong and paves the way for potential aggressive Fed tightening.  The risks for a military conflict at the Ukraine border appear to be rising and that has many investors entering de-risking mode.

Uncertainty keeps investors on edge
Stock markets in Europe are mixed, while US futures are edging lower on Thursday, as uncertainty remains around Russia's intentions in Ukraine. It's been a rather strange week that started with warnings of an imminent invasion - repeatedly denied by Russia - followed by claims of troops withdrawing following the completion of planned drills which has since been rejected by Ukraine and NATO, who have instead insisted that numbers are rising, not falling. It's no wonder investors don't know which

Mixed trade ahead of Fed minutes
Stock markets are a little flat on Wednesday as we await the Fed minutes and digest more inflation data from China and the UK. We saw a strong rebound on Tuesday as some Russian troops completed military drills near the Ukrainian border and returned to their normal bases in what was the first de-escalation in the region in weeks. It came at a time when various world leaders were warning about the threat of invasion this week, something Russia repeatedly denied. Friday's warnings carried an add

Stocks rebound on easing geopolitical tensions, PPI remains very hot, bitcoin rallies
US stocks rallied on optimism that it doesn’t seem like Russia will invade Ukraine this week and despite another hot PPI report, as many on Wall Street are still not convinced the Fed will be as aggressive as some are calling for this year. The bond market selloff resumed as risk appetite returned following an easing of geopolitical tensions with both the Ukraine situation and Iran nuclear talks.

A big step in the right direction
Risk appetite is much improved on Tuesday following reports that Russia is pulling back some troops, a significant de-escalation that makes the prospect of an invasion this week much less likely. The Kremlin maintains that it never intended to invade Ukraine and the return of some troops to their regular bases following military exercises is proceeding as was always planned. While risks remain elevated, this looks like a big step in the right direction, and investors, like everyone else, are br

An ‘All Right’ rebound was quickly faded, cryptos get a Super Bowl win
Wall Street remain jittery over Ukraine crisis US stocks tentatively rebounded on optimism that the Ukraine-Russia crisis will avoid a war after the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said they will engage further diplomatically.  Lavrov proposed to President Putin that Russia continue talks with the West and Putin answered, ‘all right’. The geopolitical risks still remain elevated as Russian troops remain at the Ukrainian border, but the risk of military conflict happening this week appears to ha

Another troubling start to the week
Ukraine jitters send markets tumbling Stock markets are getting pummelled on Monday, as investors prepare for a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine this week. Reports since Friday suggest an invasion has gone from being a risk to highly likely and the late sell-off in the US followed by today's plunge reflects that. Coming during a period of high anxiety in the markets and a cost-of-living crisis in many countries, the timing couldn't really be much worse. Europe now finds itself in a very

US Close: Wall Street rattled on reports US expects Russia to invade Ukraine next week. Yen, Oil, and Gold pop higher, while Stocks, yields, and Bitcoin drop
Wall Street has an inflation hangover as higher rates continue to drag tech stocks down.  US stocks were trying to stabilize as yields came in. Yesterday’s inflation shocker has many bond traders believing the Fed is behind the curve and will be delivering several rate hikes.  Many Fed members feel inflation will meaningfully decelerate later this year and that is why calls for seven rate hikes might be too aggressive. US stocks were supposed to have a period of calm this afternoon as Treasury

Ending the week in the red
Stock markets are ending the week in the red after investors were dealt another inflation blow on Thursday which dampened sentiment once more. We were just starting to see confidence building in the markets, with investors seemingly coming to terms with the prospect of four or five rate hikes this year. But the relentless and broad-based price rises in the US delivered yet another hammer blow and ruined any momentum that had been building into the report. We're now entering into quite uncomfor

Bond market selloff can’t continue until CPI data, stocks rebound on Bostic and as yields drop, bitcoin eases
US stocks are rising after both Fed’s Bostic assuaged investor fears of an overly aggressive Fed tightening cycle and as the global bond market selloff takes a break in anticipation of tomorrow’s inflation report. Fixed-income traders made it clear early that the 10-year Treasury yield would not break above the 2.00% level before Thursday’s inflation data.

Confidence building
Stock markets are making decent gains in Europe on Wednesday and US futures are also being led higher as confidence continues to build following a torrid start to the year. Investors' mood brightens It's hard to pinpoint exactly what has changed; whether it's earnings that are lifting the mood or the soothing tones of central bankers desperately trying to manage expectations. Perhaps it's simply a case of investors coming to terms with the tightening environment and feeling more comfortable wi

Optimism ahead of Fed and inflation data
We're seeing further signs of stabilization in the markets on Tuesday, as the relatively peaceful start to the week continues. It's been a wild start to the year and it seems investors are embracing the less intense start to the week, probably with an eye on what's to come over the next couple of days. Recent weeks have brought so much anxiety to financial markets as yields have accelerated higher in anticipation of a series of rate hikes from central banks. The inflation data has continued to

US Close: Slow Start for Stocks, Lagarde pushes back, Oil rally pauses, Gold rallies, Bitcoin momo is back
US stocks will struggle for direction until the latest inflation tilts market’s expectations as to how aggressive the Fed will tighten into what is still deemed as an overvalued stock market.  Wall Street saw early selling pressure for tech stocks as investors still digest a wrath of disappointing outlooks and surging borrowing costs. Technology stocks are no longer a one-way trade as investors cut losses and now focus on valuations, competition, and long-term outlooks. FX Financial markets are
