Weekly UpdateEquitiesRates Govt BondsCommoditiesIndustrialsInformation Technology

The disappointing China summit and rising oil prices have removed key sources of market optimism, pushing 10-year Treasury yields above 4.50%. Despite strong U.S. economic data, equity markets face near-term pressure as the Fed's easing bias comes into question.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.The China summit failed to meet market expectations, lacking progress on trade (Boeing orders), Iran, and Taiwan tensions.
  • 2.Rising oil prices and the 10-year Treasury yield breaking above 4.50% are tightening financial conditions and pressuring inflation expectations.
  • 3.The U.S. economy remains resilient with strong manufacturing data, despite geopolitical and energy shocks.
