Financial Markets Daily Report09 junio 2026
Risk appetite stabilised on Monday after early pressure from Middle East escalation, firmer Fed rate-hike expectations and a continued tech-led correction, with a late rebound in US equities containing losses. In commodities, Brent crude rose on renewed Iran–Israel tensions, though intraday headlines improved the outlook and capped gains.
Sovereign yields rose slightly on both sides of the Atlantic. Euro area peripheral spreads widened modestly, with the move in France largely reflecting the introduction of a new 10‑year benchmark. 3‑month EURIBOR rose, reflecting the increased probability of a second ECB hike by September and the shifting expectations for a third hike into late 2026.
Equity markets were mixed: Asian indices extended Friday’s US-driven sell-off, while European stocks closed slightly lower with losses contained. US equities recovered intraday on renewed dip-buying in large-cap tech, triggering a sharp drop in implied volatility. In FX, the US dollar eased marginally from the two‑month highs it reached on Friday.
