U.S. markets were mixed in trading yesterday as investors digested the latest updates from the Middle East that included a potential reaction from the U.S. to the shooting down of one of its helicopters. Tech stocks took a hit, while the $Dow edged higher, as Treasury yields and the dollar both drifted lower ahead of key inflation data later today.

𝐎𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝
$Oil prices hit a seven-week low despite the potential for increased hostilities, while $gold also dropped, trading now near key technical support levels.

💡The macroeconomic calendar kicks into gear for the week later today in the New York sessions with crucial CPI data due out in the U.S. and the Bank of Canada set to make its latest interest rate decision.

U.S. stocks saw a bit of a rebound on the first day of trading yesterday after Friday’s drop as global sentiment improved after news that Iran and Israel had halted attacks on each other hit the wires. Tech stocks led gains in equity markets, while Treasury yields rose again, and the $dollar pulled back from multi-month highs.

𝐎𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝
$Oil prices closed the day around 1% higher, having earlier jumped over 5% on the escalation of fighting in the Middle East over the weekend. $Gold had another whippy trading day, ultimately closing near flat.

💡 It is another quiet day on the macroeconomic calendar today, however traders are again expecting plenty of volatility on any fresh news from the Middle East.

U.S. stocks crashed in trading on Friday after key U.S. employment data came in much higher than expectations, pushing any investor hopes of an interest rate cut from the Fed off the table. U.S. Treasury yields and the $DXY surged higher after the data.

𝐎𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝
$Oil prices dropped on the day as the dollar pushed higher and investors held out some hope that a peace deal could still come through between the U.S. and Iran. $XAUUSD again reacted strongly to the dollar move, dropping by over 3% to close at levels not seen since late March.

💡 It’s a quiet calendar day on Monday to kick off the fresh trading week, with traders expecting the market to pick up from Friday’s risk-off sentiment while also reacting to anything fresh on the geopolitical front.

Treasury yields and the dollar both pulled back from recent higher levels as $oil also dropped hard on the positive sentiment. $XAUUSD jumped in line with the $dollar move.

💡Geopolitics is set to again dominate most of the trading day today, but will certainly take a second place to fundamental data early in the New York session today when the U.S. NFP is released.

Tech stocks rallied in the U.S. session yesterday after news that Iran and the U.S. have agreed to extend the ceasefire hit the newswires. Both the $dollar and U.S. Treasury yields pulled back in trading after Core PCE data came in slightly lower than expected.

$Brent crude eased back after earlier gains, and WTI closed close to flat, while Gold ultimately closed higher, having fallen hard earlier in the day

💡Traders are expecting more volatility ahead today, where all eyes will again be on the Middle East with President Trump yet to agree to the ceasefire terms. We do have more inflation data due out from both Japan and Germany during the day, but again, expect news-led flow to dominate moves into the weekend.

🛢️Oil, Gold 👇
The U.S. $dollar and bond markets had quieter days as traders awaited further concrete evidence of progress in the Middle East, while $oil prices dropped hard, as did $gold after breaking through support levels.

💡Geopolitical updates will once again dominate market moves today, although U.S. Core PCE inflation data later in the day will push fundamentals to the fore with any stronger print likely to kill any hopes of a Fed rate cut this year.

U.S. tech stocks rallied in their first day of trading for the week yesterday, with the $SPX closing at a record level, as investors continued to digest fresh updates from the Middle East, which included fresh strikes against Iran from the U.S. while peace negotiations were taking place.

𝐎𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝

Sentiment increased in markets yesterday despite several major centres being closed for extended weekends as investors reacted to increased peace hopes in the Middle East. Iranian officials were in Qatar for negotiations, and hopes are increasing for a deal, although news from both Washington and Tehran is that there are still some key issues to be resolved.

𝐔.𝐒. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭
U.S. markets were closed but are expected to open higher later today unless there are any fresh updates on the situation, but FX markets were open, and the dollar drifted lower as haven plays were unwound.

𝐎𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝
Oil prices tumbled significantly on the positive rhetoric, with one report citing that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen 30 days after a deal is signed. Gold continued to trade in line with the dollar side of the equation, gaining nearly 2% on the day.

💡Traders are bracing for a lively day ahead with most centres back in action. There is very little on the macroeconomic calendar today, so geopolitical updates are set to dominate moves.

U.S. $stocks gained ground again on the final trading day of the week on Friday as peace hopes increased in the Middle East, and investors are hoping for those moves to continue into this week, although updates remained mixed over the weekend, with the U.S. swinging from a ‘deal being imminent’ to being in ‘no rush to sign’ over the last couple of days.

U.S. treasury yields had a mixed day, whilst the dollar again edged higher on the majors.

𝐎𝐢𝐥, 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝
$Oil prices also pushed back into recent ranges as traders looked for updates on the situation in the Middle East, while $XAUUSD slipped back towards recent support levels.
