Market Drivers & Key Items for Traders (Bullet Points)
Global Market Sentiment
- Elevated volatility in U.S. equities has been reported recently, contributing to risk-off flows across asset classes.
This may pressure European equity futures at open. - Goldman Sachs sees global growth near 2.8% in 2026, underpinned by resilient U.S. performance and solid, albeit slower, growth in Europe.
Implication: Growth-sensitive assets supported; monetary policy expectations shaped accordingly. - JPMorgan highlights market polarization due to disparate monetary policies and sector performance (e.g., tech vs. cyclical).
Implication: Rotation strategies remain relevant. - Commodities narrative has bullish elements for metals and energy, supported by supply-side developments.
Implication: Watch oil and base metals for further directional moves.
Europe & Spain
- Spain forecasted as a top Eurozone grower; strong consumption and investment cited.
Implication: Spanish equities and credit assets may attract relative interest. - CPI inflation in Spain has eased, reducing immediate ECB tightening pressure.
Implication: Government bond yields in periphery could compress relative to core. - Spanish services PMI remains expansionary though slightly softer than estimates.
Implication: Reflects ongoing domestic demand strength, monitoring next PMIs is advised. - ECB policy stance suggests potential pause; forecasts from large banks show differing paths vs. Fed and BoE.
Implication: EUR crosses sensitive to diverging monetary expectations.
FX / Rates
- EUR/USD at ~1.1748 supports moderate risk environment; track U.S. data for directional cues.
- Diverging central bank expectations (ECB versus Fed) are key to FX volatility.
Commodities / Safe Havens
