The Day Ahead
Yesterday’s Takeaway
Tech-led weakness punctuated the session and spilled into commodities: US equities slipped as silver and gold sold off, sending miners sharply lower and amplifying a risk-off tone into Asia. That combination signals a cautious open today, with commodity-linked equities and rates-sensitive sectors vulnerable to further follow-through.
The Setup
Volatility is higher but muted β VIX 14.2 (+4.4%) β suggesting guarded positioning rather than panic. US 10-year yields ticked up to 4.12 (+0.24%) while Germanyβs 10-year fell to 2.83 (-1.05%), a cross-market divergence that highlights regional flow differences. EUR/USD sits at 1.18 unchanged and EURIBOR 3M is 2.02, near its recent range. Liquidity is thin: Japan, Russia and other markets are on holiday, so price moves may exaggerate. Miners plunged as much as ~9.6% (Sibanye) yesterday, pairing with the metals slump to make commodity names a barometer for risk appetite.
Today’s Watch
Key prints: UY inflation at 17:00 (forecast 3.9, prior 4.09), Baker Hughes rig count at 18:00, Fed balance sheet at 21:30 (previous 6.56) and Australia services PMIs at 23:00 (previous ~51). Markets will parse Uruguayβs CPI for regional inflation momentum; a surprise higher print would pressure LatAm assets. The Fed balance sheet release and rig count will be read through a liquidity-and-supply lens rather than policy shifts. Focus the session on whether US yields and precious metals extend yesterdayβs move amid thin holiday liquidity β that will set cross-asset direction into the next full week.
