Financial Markets Daily Report05 junio 2026
Investor sentiment was cautiously positive on Thursday, supported by lower oil prices amid optimism that Iran and the US may be moving closer to a provisional peace deal, despite continued clashes involving both countries, as well as between Israel and Lebanon.
Sovereign yields edged lower on both sides of the Atlantic. US Treasuries fell, despite a slightly hawkish-leaning rhetoric from Fed officials speaking in the day, after weekly jobless claims rose to a four‑month high and productivity was revised down, reinforcing the view of gradual labour market cooling. Eurozone yields also declined modestly.
Equity markets diverged: Asian indices and the Nasdaq fell, while European equities and the S&P 500 advanced, as investors rotated out of chipmakers following weaker‑than‑expected AI‑related guidance. In FX markets, the euro appreciated slightly against the dollar, while the yen remained broadly flat, hovering around levels associated with intervention risk.
