Financial Markets Daily Report06 julio 2026
With no major developments in the peace talks from the Middle East, Friday's session was driven by an increase in risk sentiment, with investors rotating from fixed income to the stock market in the euro area and falling volatility. In the US, markets were closed due to a bank holiday.
Government bond yields rose in the euro area, with peripheral spreads narrowing marginally and a slight flattening of the curves. Currency markets were quiet, with the euro closing flat against all major peers and the dollar appreciating against the Japanese yen, reverting the sharp weakening it suffered on Thursday.
In equity markets, euro area and Asian indices advanced firmly. Today, investors will be attentive to the release of the ISM indices for the US, as well as the publication of the meeting minutes from Fed's and BoE's last meeting in June, to continue to assess the future path of interest rates.
