Financial Markets Daily Report
01 diciembre 2025
Friday's session was shorter in the US as markets closed at noon due to Thanksgiving's holidays. Treasury yields rose slightly and US stocks edged higher, with S&P 500 registering the largest gains in a 4-day stretch since May amid high expectations that the Fed will cut rates next week. The dollar continued to depreciate against its peers.
In Europe, sovereign yields ended mostly flat, with peripheral spreads narrowing a bit as the German inflation data for November came in higher than expected, with a 2.6% increase yoy, while Italian and French inflation surprised to the downside. Stock indices ended mixed after a choppy session.
In commodities markets, Brent prices edged lower but rose in early Monday trading, since yesterday's OPEC's meeting rose concerns on future supply. Gold rallied and now is trading over $4200 / ounce. This week, investors will be attentive to Eurozone inflation figures that are released on Tuesday.
