UBP Weekly View - Resilience returns to markets

Resilient macro data, softer inflation and strong corporate earnings have helped global markets recover, with equities reaching new highs and bonds extending gains. Expectations of further Fed rate cuts supported sentiment, while the USD strengthened amid JPY weakness and gold consolidation. However, with valuations near cycle peaks and policy uncertainty still looming, investors remain focused on upcoming central bank meetings for direction.

UBP Weekly View - Fragility builds in markets

The US government shutdown carries on, while the earnings season opened on a constructive note, nudging global equities higher amid softer trade rhetoric, resilient bank results and renewed hopes of Fed easing. These tailwinds, however, contrast with credit-quality concerns linked to regional-bank fraud reports and mounting unease over a potential AI-driven bubble, leaving markets more vulnerable to negative headlines. US inflation data due this week are expected to show moderate upward pressure.

UBP Weekly View - US shutdown delays labour data

The US government shutdown, which began on 1 October, has delayed the release of the closely watched non-farm payrolls report. Other economic data published last week were downbeat, reinforcing our expectation that the Federal Reserve will implement two 25-basis-point rate cuts (on 29 October and 10 December) to counter labour market weakness. Meanwhile, negotiations over government spending between the Democrats and Republicans are set to continue in the run-up to the third-quarter earnings season.

UBP Weekly View - All eyes on central bank meetings

Equities advanced over the week on expectations of a first Fed rate cut on 17 September. Investors will scrutinise the Fed’s commentary for guidance on further potential cuts in October and December, moves which have largely been priced in by the markets. Policy meetings are also scheduled at the Bank of Canada (BoC), the Bank of England (BoE), and the Norges Bank, with the European Central Bank (ECB) having decided last week to leave its key rate unchanged at 2%.
