Summary
US equity futures are weaker, Asian markets are mixed, while European equities are also mixed after recent record highs. Markets are consolidating after recent strength, with attention on a mixed AI trade following strong performance in the semiconductor space and some rotation across regions. Geopolitics remain in focus, with US-Iran talks showing limited progress despite broadly constructive signals, while central bank uncertainty continues to weigh following limited forward guidance from the Fed. At the same time, lower oil prices are helping ease tightening expectations in Europe, though policymakers remain cautious on inflation dynamics, keeping overall sentiment balanced but slightly defensive. Companies Mentioned: Apple, Microsoft, KKR & Co.
