Powered by lumidawealth.com

  • U.S. Markets: Stock futures were flat early Friday, with Dow Jones futures slightly up, Nasdaq futures rising 0.3%, and S&P 500 futures unchanged after Thursday’s bounce from the U.S.-U.K. trade deal.
  • Asian Markets: Mixed performance as Japan’s Nikkei rose 1.6%, Australia gained for a third session, but South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.1%, and Chinese stocks declined due to weak export data.
  • European Markets: A stronger start, with the Stoxx Europe 600 up 0.4%, Germany’s DAX hitting an intraday record (+0.6%), and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 climbing 0.4%, buoyed by optimism from the U.S.-U.K. trade deal.
  • Treasury Yields: U.S. Treasury yields were little changed, with the two-year yield down 2.5 basis points to 3.868%, while 10- and 30-year yields remained flat.
  • Currency Markets: The dollar fell 0.1% after hitting a one-month high on Thursday, with the DXY index at 100.493.
  • Bitcoin: BTC surged to a three-month high of $104,324, reflecting bullish sentiment.
  • Oil Prices: Brent crude and WTI rose 0.9%, with weekly gains exceeding 3%, driven by optimism over global trade negotiations.

What Happened?

Global markets showed mixed performance on Friday as investors turned their attention to the upcoming U.S.-China trade talks in Switzerland. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are set to meet with China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend, though these are expected to be preliminary discussions.

In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei led gains with a 1.6% rise, while Chinese stocks fell due to weak export data. European markets opened stronger, with Germany’s DAX hitting a record high and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 benefiting from optimism surrounding the U.S.-U.K. trade deal.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin hit a three-month high, and oil prices continued their upward trend, reflecting renewed optimism in global trade.


Why It Matters?

The upcoming U.S.-China trade talks are critical for global markets, as they could signal a de-escalation in trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. Investors are cautiously optimistic but remain wary of unpredictable U.S. trade policies.

The mixed performance in global markets reflects this uncertainty, with gains in some regions offset by concerns over weak Chinese export data and the broader impact of tariffs.

Bitcoin’s surge to a three-month high and rising oil prices highlight the market’s bullish sentiment, driven by hopes of progress in trade negotiations.


What’s Next?

Investors will closely monitor the outcome of the U.S.-China trade talks in Switzerland, as any progress could provide a boost to global markets. Key areas to watch include:

  • U.S.-China Relations: Signals of de-escalation or further tensions in trade policy.
  • Market Sentiment: The impact of trade developments on equities, currencies, and commodities.
  • Bitcoin and Oil: Continued momentum in these markets as optimism builds around global trade.

The focus will also remain on U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar, as they react to developments in trade and economic data.
