📆 Monday, April 15
► Despite the geopolitical tensions at the weekend – which were already priced in on Friday – European equities recovered strongly and share futures rose. Investors are bracing themselves for a busy week, with data from China and inflation data from Japan, the Eurozone and the UK being published in addition to the IMF and World Bank meetings in Washington. Additionally, important earnings reports will be released this wee – such ASML, TSMC, Louis Vuitton, Netflix, Goldman Sachs etc.
► In the US, equity futures see a slight boost after the sharp decline last Friday. The focus shifts back to domestic affairs with the continuation of earnings season following last Friday's underwhelming bank results. Today's sessions feature major reports from Goldman Sachs and Charles Schwab. US Treasury yields, however, remain elevated with investors expecting the Fed to keep rates higher-for-longer. Slight waning demand for safer assets such as bonds could bring yields down again later today.
