UBP Weekly View - Multiple factors weight on sentiment
Despite Nvidia’s stronger-than-expected results and upbeat guidance, investor sentiment remained fragile. A mixture of fatigue and doubts about AI, shifting expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut in December, and a rise in long-term Japanese yields fuelled sharp swings across equity markets. This week, investors will closely monitor the continuing Russia–Ukraine discussions for signs of an end to the conflict.

UBP Weekly View - A volatile backdrop
Doubts over a December interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and concerns over the scale and timing of AI-related capex weighed on sentiment, underscoring the fragile market landscape. Now that the US government’s 43-day shutdown has ended, investors are awaiting the delayed September non-farm payrolls report this week. The publication of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s meeting and Nvidia’s earning report, both on Wednesday, will be also closely scrutinised.

UBP Weekly View - Fed caution and resilient earnings
The Fed's 25-bp rate cut, paired with Powell's cautious tone on further rate reductions, led to mixed market reactions. Despite this, strong earnings, particularly in the tech sector, supported equities, while bond yields rose. The USD strengthened amid JPY weakness, and gold consolidated at around USD 4,000. With the eurozone showing modest growth and US consumer confidence declining, investors are focused on another heavy week of earnings and key data releases for further direction.
