  Market recap – strong start to the year despite mixed data Global markets began 2026 strongly, with risk appetite supported by cooling inflation, recovering sentiment and strength across several cyclical sectors. In the US, equities advanced as the S&P 500 rose 2.2% and the Nasdaq gained 2.9% over the week, helped by renewed optimism around semiconductors. Chipmakers led gains, with several names rallying sharply on expectations that AI‑related investment will continue to underpin demand. Meanwhile, the latest US jobs report showed hiring slowing to 50,000 in December, but a drop in the unemployment rate to 4.4% helped soothe concerns over labour market resilience. In the UK, the FTSE 100 climbed 1.8% to a fresh record high of 10,128, supported by strength in energy, defence and mining shares. M&A speculation lifted miners, with Glencore jumping over 8% on renewed merger chatter. Across European indices rose, with technology, luxury and industrials driving the region higher. In Asia, Japanese equities rebounded strongly after easing trade tensions with China, while Chinese markets hit multi‑year highs following supportive inflation data and expectations of further monetary policy easing from the People’s Bank of China. Geopolitics – Maduro’s capture raises questions for oil markets The week’s biggest geopolitical story continues to be the US capture of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro, an event that surprised global markets. The US administration, this week, signalled its intention to oversee a transition of power in the country, prompting debate over international law and the geopolitical implications. Venezuela’s diminished energy infrastructure means immediate disruption to global oil supply is unlikely, but the situation has introduced new uncertainty. Bond markets have tentatively reacted, with renewed investor interest in Venezuela’s defaulted debt on hopes of eventual political normalisation. Broader geopolitical tensions - including unrest in Iran and ongoing strikes on energy infrastructure in the Russia–Ukraine conflict - continued to shape market sentiment. Central banks – easing bias remains in focus With inflation pressures continuing to cool globally, markets expect both the Fed and the ECB to maintain a cautious easing bias. In the US, policymakers have signalled they remain open to cutting rates further this year should inflation continue to moderate. In Europe, headline inflation eased to 2.0% in December, matching the ECB’s long‑term target and reinforcing expectations that rates are likely to stay on hold until later in the year. In Asia, the Bank of Japan maintained a supportive stance, while the People’s Bank of China pledged to cut reserve requirements and lower policy rates to sustain liquidity.

  Market recap – mixed start to 2026 as tech wobbles and commodities shine Global markets began the year on a volatile note. In the US, the S&P 500 fell 0.95% last week, while the Nasdaq dropped 1.6%, as weakness in AI software names offset strength in chipmakers. Semiconductor stocks rallied sharply, with Micron up 10%, Intel up 7%, and Nvidia gaining 2%, supported by positive corporate developments and IPO news from Asia. In contrast, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Palantir declined between 2% and 5%, amid concerns over aggressive capital expenditure pledges. Tesla also slipped 2.5% after missing its delivery target. In the UK, the FTSE 100 surged 0.9%, breaking above the symbolic 10,000-point level for the first time, led by defence stocks such as Rolls-Royce (+3.4%), BAE Systems (+2.5%), and Babcock (+2.4%). Mining and energy shares also advanced on higher commodity prices. Across Europe, the EURO STOXX index rose, with ASML soaring nearly 7% and carmakers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz up over 3%. In Asia, Japan’s TOPIX ended 2025 with a 17% annual gain, despite a slight pullback on the final day, while China’s markets edged higher, buoyed by defence and aerospace stocks. Geopolitics – Venezuela shock and global tensions The surprise capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the US dominated headlines, raising questions about governance and oil supply risks. President Trump pledged to oversee a “proper transition”, but the move sparked condemnation from Russia and other nations, complicating efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Meanwhile, China announced stricter silver export controls and front-loaded CNY 400 billion in infrastructure investment for 2026, signalling its intent to stabilise growth amid global uncertainty. Central banks – easing bias persists Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting revealed growing openness to further rate cuts if inflation continues to cool, though officials remain divided on timing. Markets expect two cuts in 2026, which could bring rates closer to 3%. In contrast, the Bank of Japan raised rates to 0.75% in December, its highest level since 1995, while the ECB kept rates unchanged, citing resilient growth and inflation near target. News – tech rotation and IPO buzz The year began with a sharp divergence in tech: chipmakers rallied strongly, while AI software names slumped on concerns over spending discipline. In Hong Kong, Chinese AI firms Zhipu and MiniMax are set for blockbuster IPOs this week, aiming to revive sentiment in the region’s equity markets. UK retailers, including Next, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, and Greggs, will report Christmas trading updates, offering insight into consumer trends amid cost-of-living pressures.

  Market recap – stocks steady as inflation cools and central banks diverge Global equities ended the week on a positive note, supported by cooler-than-expected US inflation and optimism over further rate cuts in 2026. In the US, the S&P 500 rose 0.1% for the week, the Nasdaq gained 0.6%, helped by a rebound in technology stocks after recent weakness. Oracle surged more than 7% following news of a TikTok deal, while Micron jumped 7% and Nvidia climbed over 3%. In the UK, the FTSE 100 rose 2.6% on Friday, closing at its highest level since mid-November, supported by strength in energy stocks and precious metal miners. Across Europe, the STOXX 600 hit a record high, as investors welcomed the Fed’s dovish tone and fading expectations of ECB tightening. In Asia, Japan’s TOPIX was down 2.2% for the week after the Bank of Japan raised rates to 0.75%, its highest level since 1995, while China’s MSCI index was down 1.6%, despite strong gain in defence and aerospace stocks. Geopolitics – tensions linger amid policy pledges China’s annual economic planning meeting reaffirmed proactive fiscal measures and steps to stabilise the property sector, while geopolitical risks persisted. The US seized a sanctioned Venezuelan tanker, escalating tensions over energy sanctions, and Ukraine continued targeting Russian oil infrastructure. In Europe, the EU approved a €90 billion aid package for Ukraine, opting for joint bond issuance rather than frozen Russian assets. Central banks – Fed eases, BoJ hikes, ECB holds The Federal Reserve delivered its third 25bps cut of the year, bringing the policy rate closer to neutral and signalling that further hikes are off the table. Chair Powell maintained a cautious tone, reinforcing expectations of one or two cuts in 2026. The ECB kept rates unchanged, while the Bank of Japan raised its benchmark rate to 0.75%, citing persistent inflation and yen weakness. Markets now assign a 25% chance of another Fed cut in January, with near certainty by April. News – tech rebound and sector rotation After a sharp sell-off earlier in the week, AI-linked stocks staged a recovery, led by Oracle (+7%), Micron (+7%), and Nvidia (+3%), while Nike slumped 11% on weaker China sales and margin pressure. In Europe, financials and autos outperformed, with BNP Paribas, Volkswagen, and Renault among the gainers, while luxury names lagged. UK-listed Carnival soared 16% on strong earnings, while housebuilders and retailers underperformed.

  Market recap – mixed week as tech stumbles and rate optimism holds Global equities delivered a mixed performance this week, as optimism over Federal Reserve easing was offset by a sharp sell-off in technology stocks. In the US, the Dow gained 1.0%, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.7% and the Nasdaq fell 2.0%, dragged lower by semiconductor names after Broadcom plunged on margin concerns. Other AI-linked stocks, including Nvidia, Oracle, and AMD, also retreated, reflecting growing caution around valuations. Despite this, the Fed’s third consecutive 25bps rate cut and a less hawkish tone helped underpin broader sentiment. In the UK, the FTSE 100 fell 0.2%, pressured by weak economic data and declines in miners and oil majors. Sterling climbed to a six-week high above $1.335, supported by expectations of a Bank of England rate cut later this month. Across Europe, the DAX rose 1.4% with the STOXX 50 ending in positive territory, as investors welcomed the Fed’s dovish stance and upbeat Eurozone GDP revisions. In Asia, China’s MSCI index slipped 0.7% despite policy support pledges at the annual economic planning meeting, while Japan’s TOPIX rose 1.3% over the week, even as speculation of a Bank of Japan rate hike persisted. Geopolitics – policy pledges and trade tensions China reaffirmed its commitment to proactive fiscal measures and steps to stabilise the property sector during its annual economic planning meeting, aiming to sustain growth in 2026. Meanwhile, geopolitical risks lingered as the US intercepted a Venezuelan tanker, escalating tensions over sanctions, and Ukraine continued targeting Russia’s oil infrastructure. In the UK, the trade deficit widened to £4.82 billion in October, its largest in eight months, as imports surged and exports fell. Central banks – easing bias dominates The Federal Reserve cut rates by 0.25%, bringing the total reduction to 1.75% since September 2024, and signalled that further hikes are off the table. Chair Powell struck a cautious tone on the labour market, reinforcing expectations of two cuts in 2026, even though official projections suggest only one. The Fed also announced $40 billion in monthly Treasury bill purchases to ease money market strains. In the UK, markets price a 90% chance of a BoE cut on 18 December, as growth slows and inflation moderates. The ECB is expected to hold rates steady, while the Bank of Japan may raise rates, citing persistent inflation and yen weakness. News – tech rout and sector rotation A sharp reversal in AI-linked stocks dominated headlines, with Broadcom’s warning on margins triggering a sector-wide sell-off. Other semiconductor names followed suit, while Lululemon surged nearly 10% after raising its full-year outlook and announcing a CEO transition. In Europe, financials and autos outperformed, with BNP Paribas, Volkswagen, and Adidas among the gainers, while UK-listed miners and oil majors lagged.

  Market recap – equities edge higher as Fed cut looms Global equities posted modest gains this week, buoyed by expectations that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its final meeting of the year. In the US, the S&P 500 fell 0.4% and the Nasdaq gained 0.3%, leaving the major indices within touching distance of record highs. Tech stocks led the advance, with Alphabet, Meta, and Broadcom among the top performers. In the UK, the FTSE 100 slipped 0.5% for the week, weighed by downgrades to oil majors and weakness in financials, despite gains in consumer names such as JD Sports and Burberry. Sterling climbed to a six-week high above $1.335, supported by fiscal credibility following the Autumn Budget and expectations of a Bank of England rate cut later this month. Across Europe, the DAX rose 0.5% and the CAC 40 climbed 0.4%, as softer US inflation data reinforced hopes of Fed easing. In Asia, China’s MSCI index climbed 1.3%, ahead of key policy meetings, while Japan’s TOPIX fell 0.7% on speculation that the Bank of Japan may hike rates in December. Geopolitics – Ukraine talks and UK budget fallout Geopolitical headlines remained in focus as US President Trump signalled imminent action on Venezuela and continued efforts to broker a Ukraine peace deal, though progress appears limited. In the UK, reverberations from last week’s Autumn Budget persisted, with the resignation of the OBR chair following a disclosure error and fresh data pointing to a slowdown in construction activity. Central banks – Fed and BoE in the spotlight Markets are pricing an 87% probability of a 25bps Fed cut at next week’s meeting, alongside updated economic projections and the “dot plot” signalling the path for rates in 2026. Inflation remains contained, with core PCE easing to 2.8%, while consumer sentiment improved modestly. In the UK, the Bank of England is increasingly split ahead of its 18 December meeting, with markets assigning a 90% chance of a cut, as growth slows and employment expectations weaken. The OECD projects two further BoE cuts by mid-2026. News – tech resilience and sector rotation Despite recent volatility, mega-cap tech stocks regained momentum, helping the Nasdaq notch its third weekly gain. Broadcom and Salesforce outperformed, while Netflix fell after announcing a content deal with Warner Bros Discovery. In Europe, auto manufacturers rallied on a delayed EU ban on combustion engines, while UK retail names were mixed amid broker downgrades.

  Market recap – equities steady after volatile November Global markets ended November on a firmer note after a turbulent month dominated by concerns over AI valuations and shifting expectations for interest rate cuts. In the US, the S&P 500 rose 2.5% and the Nasdaq gained 3.6%, supported by optimism that the Federal Reserve may cut rates in December. For the month, however, the Nasdaq is down ~2.6%, snapping a seven-month winning streak as investors reassessed tech valuations. In the UK, the FTSE 100 climbed 1.95% for the week, helped by gains in energy and mining stocks, though retail names were mixed after broker downgrades. Sterling strengthened by about 1% for the week, its best performance since August, following the government’s Autumn Budget, which signaled fiscal discipline despite higher taxes. Across Europe, France’s CAC 40 and Germany’s DAX were up, buoyed by hopes of Fed easing and softer inflation data. In Asia, Japan’s TOPIX index edged up 1.5%, supported by strong economic data and dip-buying, while China’s markets rebounded late in the week, up 2.2% for the week, after an analyst upgrade, despite weak PMI readings earlier. Geopolitics – budget headlines and peace talks The UK’s Autumn Budget dominated domestic headlines, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves announcing £26 billion in new taxes to fund welfare and infrastructure spending. In the US, President Trump continued efforts to broker a Ukraine peace deal, which could influence future sanctions policy and energy markets. Meanwhile, Japan’s approval of a ¥21.3 trillion stimulus package raised questions about fiscal sustainability and added pressure on the yen. Central banks – rate-cut hopes strengthen Markets priced an 80–85% probability of a Fed rate cut in December, up from around 30% mid-month, after dovish comments from policymakers and delayed economic data showing signs of weakness. In the UK, easing inflation at 3.6% and steady BoE commentary reinforced expectations of a rate cut next month. The Bank of Japan remains under scrutiny as inflation stays above target and speculation grows over a possible hike early in 2026.   News – retail and tech in focus Nvidia’s shares slipped despite strong earnings, as profit-taking and AI bubble concerns lingered. Retail names were in the spotlight with Walmart posting robust e-commerce growth, while UK-listed Whitbread and Burberry fell on broker downgrades. In China, sentiment improved after JPMorgan upgraded its outlook on Chinese equities, citing potential upside from AI adoption and policy support.

  Market recap – equities slide as AI bubble fears resurface Global equities endured another volatile week, with major indices posting their steepest declines in months. In the US, the S&P 500 fell around 1.5% and the Nasdaq dropping 2.6%, marking its third consecutive weekly loss as concerns over stretched AI valuations overshadowed upbeat earnings from Nvidia and Walmart. A late rebound on Friday helped trim losses after New York Fed President John Williams hinted policy could move closer to neutral, lifting hopes for a December rate cut. In the UK, the FTSE 100 fell more than 1.5% for the week, pressured by banks and energy stocks, though defensives such as Unilever and Diageo provided some support. Across Europe, sentiment weakened as MSCI Europe ex UK dropped 3.1%, with Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC 40 suffering, reflecting renewed caution over tech valuations and fading rate-cut optimism. In Asia, the MSCI China index fell 5.4% and Japan’s TOPIX lost 2.8%, both hit by global tech selling and fiscal concerns in Japan despite a record stimulus package. Geopolitics – fiscal focus and fragile diplomacy Markets turned attention to politics as the UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares to deliver the Autumn Budget on Wednesday, facing the challenge of plugging a £30bn fiscal gap without raising income tax. In the US, President Trump reportedly seeks a Ukraine peace deal before Thanksgiving, though details remain unclear. Meanwhile, Japan’s approval of a ¥21.3 trillion stimulus package sparked debate over fiscal sustainability and weighed on the yen. Central banks – rate-cut bets swing wildly Expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut in December surged to nearly 72% by Friday, up from 30% midweek, after dovish remarks from Fed officials. However, minutes from the October meeting revealed scepticism about further easing, keeping volatility elevated. In the UK, softer inflation at 3.6% in October and a slight uptick in manufacturing PMI reinforced bets on a Bank of England cut next month, while the Bank of Japan faces growing pressure to tighten policy as core inflation hit 3% and the yen weakened to JPY 156.4 per US dollar.

  Market recap – mixed week as shutdown ends and rate hopes fade Global markets were choppy this week as optimism over the end of the US government shutdown was offset by uncertainty around interest rates and patchy economic data. In the US, the S&P 500 finished slightly higher (+0.2%), while the Nasdaq slipped slightly (-0.1%) as technology and AI stocks faced renewed scrutiny after months of strong gains. Small-cap shares underperformed, with the Russell 2000 down 1.8%, reflecting reduced expectations for a near-term rate cut. In the UK, the FTSE 100 fell 1.1% on Friday - its worst day since April - erasing earlier gains as gilt yields rose and fiscal concerns weighed on sentiment. Though the FTSE 100 was still positive for the week (+0.3%). Across Europe, markets were subdued after weak industrial production figures and a drop in German investor confidence. In Asia, Chinese equities posted moderate gains, while Japan’s TOPIX ended the week higher despite a sharp tech-led sell-off on Friday. Geopolitics – global summits deliver little progress The G20 summit in Johannesburg concluded with limited breakthroughs as several key leaders, including US President Trump and China’s Xi Jinping, skipped the event. Meanwhile, the COP30 climate talks in Brazil struggled to make headway, underscoring challenges in global cooperation. On trade, last month’s US-China truce continues to provide some relief, though long-term tensions remain a concern for markets. Central banks – cautious tone dominates Federal Reserve officials struck a hawkish tone, signalling that policy may stay “marginally restrictive” until inflation clearly moves toward the 2% target. Market-implied odds of a December rate cut fell to ~46%, down sharply from nearly 70% a week ago. In the UK, weaker labour and GDP data have increased bets on a Bank of England cut in December. The Bank of Japan appears set to delay any rate hike until January, despite Governor Ueda noting progress toward its inflation goal.   News – longest US shutdown ends but uncertainty lingers The 43-day US government shutdown - the longest in history - ended midweek after a funding bill was signed, allowing federal workers to return and services to resume. While this removed a major headwind, markets remain cautious as the backlog of economic data could take weeks to clear, and some reports may never be published. Investors are now focused on whether delayed jobs and inflation figures will arrive before the Fed’s December meeting. Economic data – mixed signals globally UK unemployment rose to 5%, its highest since early 2021, while wage growth slowed to 4.6%, signalling softer demand. GDP growth was just 0.1% in Q3, with September output contracting. In the eurozone, industrial production rose 0.2%, below forecasts, and German sentiment weakened. China’s economy lost momentum, with retail sales up only 2.9% and property prices posting their steepest drop in a year.

  Market recap – equities retreat as AI valuations face scrutiny Global equities pulled back after a strong run, with concerns over stretched technology valuations and lingering uncertainty around US economic data weighing on sentiment. In the US, the S&P 500 fell 1.7% and the Nasdaq dropped 3.2% as profit-taking hit AI-focused stocks. In the UK, the FTSE 100 slipped 0.3% across the week and Japan’s Nikkei fell 3.6%, reversing recent record highs. Chinese equities ticked up 0.4%, though they were pressured by disappointing trade data and concerns over slowing demand. Geopolitics – trade truce offers limited lift Markets digested news of a one-year trade truce between the US and China, agreed at the APEC summit. The deal includes halving US fentanyl-related tariffs, suspending China’s rare earth export controls, and resuming US soybean purchases. While the agreement eased immediate tensions, analysts noted that long-term strategic competition remains a key risk. Central banks – BoE holds, Fed signals caution The Bank of England voted 5–4 to keep interest rates at 4.0%, signalling that UK inflation has likely peaked and hinting at a gradual move towards lower borrowing costs. This decision mirrors recent holds by other central banks, including the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, and the Reserve Bank of Australia, which kept rates unchanged amid persistent inflation pressures. In the US, the Federal Reserve cut rates by 0.25% two weeks ago, but Chair Powell cautioned that another cut in December “is not a foregone conclusion.”   News – AI sector wobble sparks market pullback Investor sentiment cooled as mega-cap tech stocks faced renewed scrutiny over lofty valuations, prompting a sector rotation. Despite this, corporate fundamentals remain strong: around 85% of S&P 500 companies have reported earnings beats, with tech leading growth at 22%. Nvidia’s market cap surge past $5 trillion earlier this month underscores the scale of AI-driven optimism, even as volatility rises. Economic data – mixed signals amid shutdown Official US data releases remain limited due to the government shutdown, but private reports suggest a cooling labour market. ADP reported 42,000 private payroll additions in October, while Challenger noted job cuts at their highest October level since 2003. In the UK, Composite PMI rose to 52.2, signalling modest growth, while Eurozone PMI climbed to 52.5, its strongest reading since mid-2023. China’s PMI softened to 51.8, reflecting weaker demand and property sector pressures.

  Market recap – equities advance as trade truce lifts sentiment Global equities ended the week higher, supported by easing US-China trade tensions and strong corporate earnings. In the US, the S&P 500 gained 2.0% and the Nasdaq rose 3.2%, with tech stocks leading the rally. In the UK, the FTSE 100 rose 0.8% for the week, helped by strength in energy and mining shares earlier in the week. Japan’s Nikkei jumped 2.3%, hitting fresh record highs on robust tech performance, while Chinese equities fell, weighed by disappointing PMI data and lingering concerns over domestic demand. Geopolitics – trade truce offers temporary relief Markets welcomed news of a one-year trade truce between the US and China, announced after a high-profile meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi. The agreement includes halving US fentanyl-related tariffs, suspending China’s rare earth export controls, and resuming US soybean purchases. While the concessions were modest, they eased fears of further escalation and provided some relief to global supply chains. Central banks – Fed cuts but signals caution The US Federal Reserve cut rates by 0.25% to 3.75%–4.00%, its second consecutive reduction, but Chair Powell warned that another cut in December “is not a foregone conclusion.” The Fed also announced it will end quantitative tightening on 1 December. The European Central Bank held rates steady for a third meeting, citing progress on disinflation, while the Bank of Japan kept rates at 0.5%, maintaining its cautious stance despite inflation remaining above target. The Reserve Bank of Australia also left rates unchanged, following stronger-than-expected Q3 inflation.   News – tech earnings and AI optimism dominate headlines Earnings season remained a key driver, with Alphabet reporting over £100bn in revenue, boosted by cloud and advertising, while Nvidia became the first company to hit a $5 trillion market cap, fuelled by surging AI chip demand. Amazon shares jumped 10% after posting its fastest cloud growth in nearly three years, while mixed results from Microsoft and Meta added to sector volatility. Despite these swings, the AI trade continues to underpin market momentum. Economic data – inflation and growth updates In the US, prices rose by 0.2% in September, a little less than expected, while annual inflation stayed at 3.0%. Across the Eurozone, the economy grew by 0.2% in the third quarter, slightly better than forecasts, and overall inflation eased to 2.1%, although underlying price pressures remain at 2.4%. In the UK, inflation is still high at 3.8%, but shoppers showed resilience with retail sales up 0.5%. Meanwhile, China’s business activity slowed, reflecting weaker demand and ongoing challenges in its property sector.
