Overnight

Economic Indicators Released Overnight

UK GDP lower and disinflation in Germany set a sombre turn for markets, and with the AI trade and particularly Oracle debt hanging over the market, equities bore the brunt. Gold and Silver pushed higher but were squashed by London and COMEX at the close.

Bonds

Yield hits the top of the trend channel on the weekly for the first time since March. We haven’t quite hit 2% so expect a bit more strength going into the meeting on Friday. Read more
