Financial Markets Daily Report04 novembre 2025
Investors started the week in a mixed mood. US Treasuries rose modestly amid growing divisions within the FOMC, as Miran reiterated the need for aggressive rate cuts, citing what he described as tight financial conditions, while Goolsbee warned against easing prematurely given persistent inflation.
US equities advanced, supported by the suspension of Chinese export controls on rare earths and by Amazon's deal with OpenAI for computing power, despite a weaker-than-expected ISM manufacturing print for October (particularly in the prices paid sub-index) with new orders improving marginally from September but still below the expansion threshold.
In the eurozone, sovereign yields rose slightly and peripheral spreads narrowed, while equity performance diverged across markets. In commodities, oil fell modestly despite OPEC+ signalling a pause in output hikes, while European gas prices rebounded on cooler forecasts and supply disruptions.
