Most Read: Markets Week Ahead, FOMC, Apple, Amazon, USD/JPY, Gold and USD Outlooks
Risk markets are looking to push ahead in early turnover after a marginally positive session in the US and Asia. The VIX is touching a near three-week low and has fallen by nearly a third from the Friday 19th multi-month high. The Israel-Iran crisis is, for now, not dominating market headlines or thinking, boosting risk assets, while gold continues to nudge lower. Ahead, the latest FOMC decision and chair Powell's press conference, and Friday's US Jobs Report (NFPs) are likely to stoke volatility and may turn risk sentiment around. Still, for now risk markets are happy to nudge higher.
In the equity space, Amazon (AMZN) releases its latest quarterly results after the US market close today. Recent Mag 7 earnings have produced wild, and unpredictable price swings and Amazon's numbers must be followed closely.
