The Nasdaq 100 slid -0.90%, underperforming significantly, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9% for its fourth consecutive gain, closing at 44,495—just 1% shy of its all-time intraday high of 45,074 from December 2024. close Fig 2: Japan 225 CFD Index minor trend as of 2 July 2025 (Source: TradingView) …

Geopolitical risk premium continued to unwind across global financial markets on Tuesday, as risk-on sentiment gained traction following signs that Israel and Iran are now respecting a ceasefire deal brokered late Monday by US President Trump, despite earlier breaches from both sides. The de-escalation of the 12-day Israel-Iran conflict also drove a sharp bearish reversal in oil prices. WTI crude extended its losses from Monday, 14 June, registering a two-day decline of -15.3% to trade at US$66.05/barrel—effectively erasing the geopolitical premium and returning to pre-conflict levels. close …

US equity markets roared back to life on Thursday, 26 June, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 leading the charge, climbing 0.9% to notch another fresh all-time intraday and closing high. The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to close at 6,140—just shy of its all-time intraday high of 6,147 set in February. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.9%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 outperformed with a 1.7% surge. Despite ongoing concerns around slowing US economic growth and the approaching 9 July expiration of the White House’s 90-day pause on global reciprocal tariffs (excluding China), investor sentiment remained firmly risk-on. Markets appear to be positioning for potenti…

Key components include improved US access to rare earth minerals and magnets, and resumed Chinese imports of semiconductors, chip design software, jet engine parts, chemicals, and nuclear materials. …

All major US indices closed lower on Tuesday, 15 July, except for the Nasdaq 100, which rose 0.1% thanks to Nvidia’s continued strength. The S&P 500 hit a fresh intraday all-time high of 6,302 early in the session but reversed gains to end down 0.4%. Small caps were hit hardest, with the Russell 2000 falling 2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1%. Disappointing earnings also weighed on sentiment. JP Morgan declined 0.7%, Wells Fargo plunged 5.5%, and BlackRock slid 5.9% after reporting Q2 results. The Dow underperformed due to its higher exposure to financials.

A seven-day rally in global equities paused during Thursday’s Asian session, following a mixed overnight performance on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Russell 2000 slid 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 pushed to fresh record highs, up 0.1% and 0.3%.

Major US stock indices extended their losses from last Friday into today’s Asian session. Both S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 E-mini futures dropped by 0.5% at the time of writing, weighed down by renewed tariff anxieties. US President Trump issued a surprise escalation, threatening the European Union with a 30% tariff—an increase from April’s proposed 20%, if no improved trade terms are reached before the 1 August deadline. This move follows a series of aggressive tariff demand letters sent to US trading partners over the past week. Hopes for a preliminary US-EU trade deal were dashed after recent media reports hinted at progress, only for negotiations to hit fresh roadblock…

Optimism over trade deals has strengthened the bullish sentiment across Asia-Pacific stock markets.

S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 E-mini futures continued to edge higher in Asia’s Thursday session, up 0.1% and 0.3% respectively. Gains were supported by upbeat sentiment from Wednesday’s US session, despite mixed Q2 results from Tesla and Alphabet. Investor optimism was further boosted by President Trump’s new executive orders to bolster US artificial intelligence capabilities and improve prospects for a US-EU trade agreement. Tesla drops on earnings miss, while Alphabet rises on AI demand Tesla shares tumbled 4.4% in after-hours trading as Q2 earnings fell short of expectations ($0.40 EPS vs. $0.48 consensus).

The US stock market appeared unfazed by renewed tariff headlines on Wednesday, 9 July.

Monday, 29 July’s standout move came from the FX market, where the US dollar surged to near a two-month high. The greenback’s strength followed initial optimism over the newly announced US-EU trade deal, which triggered a brief intraday spike of 0.3% in the euro during the early hours of Monday’s Asian session. However, that euro rally quickly faded. By the close of the US session, the euro had tumbled 1.3%, its steepest daily drop since 12 May 2025, making it the worst-performing major currency. The US Dollar Index climbed 1% on the day, bringing its July-to-date gain to 2%, its strongest monthly performance of 2025. Trade terms favour the US, stir EU criticism The re…

A sharp increase in Bitcoin during today's Asian trading session may indicate the return of large players to the market—participants who have not been very active lately. Clearly, September is not the best time for such a move. As historical data show, September is usually a bearish month not just for cryptocurrencies, but for all classes of risk assets. October, on the other hand, is known for the strongest bullish seasonality: BTC has posted positive returns and an average gain of 22.9% in 9 out of the last 10 Octobers. Naturally, this phenomenon does not guarantee a repeat, but it does highlight the cyclicality and seasonal trends that are typical of financial market…
