Financial Markets Daily Report
10 febrero 2026
Yesterday session was risk-on, with global stocks advancing, led by Japan, where the Nikkei-225 registered gains of nearly 4% after the Liberal Democratic Party obtained the supermajority in the Lower House elections, allowing prime minister Sanae Takaichi to continue pursuing expansionary fiscal policies.
US and euro area equities also advanced, boosted by tech stocks. US Treasury yields ticked lower as investors waited for new guidance on the interest rate path in tomorrow's release of key January labour market data, while euro area government bond yields slightly fell, with peripheral spreads narrowing.
In currency markets, the dollar weakened after reports that Chinese authorities advised local financial institutions to reduce their exposure to US Treasuries. In commodities markets, oil prices continued to rise on increasing tensions between the US and Iran. Gold prices climbed back over the $5000/ounce milestone.
