The Day Ahead
Yesterday’s Takeaway
Geopolitical action in Venezuela and a US strike lifted crude and skewed flows into energy and defense stocks, enough to push the Dow sharply higher despite mixed signals on policy from Fed officials. That split matters for today: risk appetite can support cyclicals and defense names, but any follow-up hawkish Fed comments will hand the edge back to bonds and the dollar.
The Setup
Risk is bifurcated: equities bought the geopolitical risk premium while US 10βyear yields ticked higher to 4.19% (up 0.48%) and remain near their 52βweek range, VIX sits low at 14.9 but has risen 2.7% on the day. EUR/USD is steady at 1.17 and EURIBOR 3M sits at 2.03; Germanyβs 10βyear is 2.87% and off slightly. Watch the divergence between higher yields and an equity rally β that combination raises the probability of sharp intraβday moves if either risk or policy narratives shift.
Today’s Watch
Data and Fed speak line up: University of Michigan reads at 15:00 (consumer sentiment 53.2 f/52.9 prev; 5βyr inflation expectations 3.1 f/3.2 prev; current conditions 50.5 f/50.4 prev) coincide with a Kashkari appearance; Baker Hughes rig count posts at 18:00 and Fedβs Barkin speaks at 18:35. Markets expect a small uptick in sentiment and a modest decline in 5βyr inflation expectations; surprises on either front β stickier inflation expectations or hawkish Fed tone β would push yields and dollar higher and pressure cyclicals. Focus the session on moves in US real rates, oil/energy stocks after yesterdayβs geopolitical shock, and any hawkish nuance from Fed speakers.
