Falling interest rates and sell-offs in the technology sector | Eurizon Weekly

US share markets ended the week lower, weighed down by profit-taking in the technology sector, whilst European markets proved more resilient. Emerging markets recorded sharper falls, of close to 5%. With regard to bonds, US yields fell despite higher-than-expected inflation figures, thanks to the Fed’s less hawkish stance. European yields and spreads, meanwhile, remained stable , against a backdrop of concern over French public finances, as did the euro-dollar exchange rate, which held steady at 1.12 . With oil prices rising moderately due to geopolitical tensions, investors’ attention is now focused on the Federal Reserve’s forthcoming guidance and the trend in macroeconomic data, both of which will continue to shape expectations regarding future developments in monetary policy. Let's take a closer look with Andrea Conti, Head of the Macro Markets Analysis team at Eurizon. Audio recorded on 19 October 2026.

With regard to bonds, US yields fell marginally, whilst European rates rose slightly, with the BTP-Bund and France-Germany spreads remaining largely unchanged. Oil prices have remained relatively stable, with attention focused on global supply and developments in relations between the United States and Iran. The euro/dollar exchange rate remained close to 1.12, influenced by the interest rate differential and the greater strength of the US economy. Investors’ attention is now focused on the forthcoming US inflation figures, which will be crucial to the Federal Reserve’s future monetary policy decisions.

Positive markets driven by talks, oil, and macro data | Eurizon Weekly

During the week 21-27 September, financial markets showed a solid degree of resilience, supported by the progress made in US-China talks and stabilisation of oil prices. On the macroeconomic front, the United States has continued to show solid growth, supported by the acceleration in PMI indices, whereas more gradual signs of improvement emerged in Europe, which were hampered by the impact of energy costs. The resilience of the American economy also supported an upturn in bond yields, particularly at the longer end of the curve. Equity markets closed slightly higher, driven primarily by US and emerging market indices, with European equities recording a more cautious trend. Overall, the global outlook continues to demonstrate significant resilience, pending new inflation and corporate earnings’ data.

Rates rise alongside oil, awaiting the Fed| Eurizon Weekly

Equity markets have shown resilience, closing slightly lower, while bond markets have suffered due to rising yields. The ECB has increased rates by 25bps to counter persistent inflation. In the United States, inflation remained at 3.4% year-on-year in August, while the core component slightly exceeded expectations.

Markets cautious amid Iran, US data and German elections | Eurizon Weekly

The markets have maintained a cautious approach, influenced by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the resilience of US macroeconomic data and rising political uncertainty in Germany following the Saxony state election. In this context, US and emerging market equities have shown a largely stable trend, while European indices have recorded a decline. On the bonds front, government bond yields have risen moderately, supported by the resilience of the American economy and persistent inflationary pressures. Oil prices have continued to rise, approaching the $90 per barrel mark, while the euro-dollar exchange rate has remained largely unchanged, at around 1.16. In the United States, the solidity of economic indicators and the labour market have confirmed the good pace of growth, keeping investor focus firmly on the next moves by central banks.

Markets on pause amid FED, AI and Middle East developments | Eurizon Weekly

Global equity markets ended the week little changed, but with a slight gain, primarily driven by the recovery in technology stocks. Investor focus has been on the speech made at Jackson Hole by Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, who seems credible in his commitment to tackling inflation. This has reinforced expectations of further interest rate hikes by the end of the year, while at the same time supporting the strengthening of the dollar. Tensions in the Middle East persist in the background, while market focus has now shifted to US labour market data and Eurozone inflation, considered key factors for upcoming central bank decisions.

Eurizon's positioning for August 2026 | The Globe

‘The Globe’, Eurizon's view. The reference scenario sees the continuation of the global economic cycle. Investment in technology remains a robust pillar of support for economic activity. The resurgence of tensions in the Middle East and questions over the sustainability of profits in the technology sector are causes for concern. In August, the thinning of trading volumes will expose the market to the risk of increased volatility.

Stock markets fall amid tensions in Iran and the tech sector| Eurizon Weekly

The week was marked by greater caution in the markets due to tensions in the Middle East and the potential risks to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices rose without reaching alarming levels, whilst the euro-dollar exchange rate remained stable. The major stock markets closed lower, with weaker performances in Europe and emerging markets, while profit-taking in the technology sector was the main factor in the United States. In the bond market, lower-than-expected US inflation resulted in a slight fall in yields, although geopolitical tensions continue to fuel inflationary concerns. Investors therefore remain focused on geopolitical developments and the next moves of the central banks. Let's take a closer look with Andrea Conti, Head of Macro Markets Analysis at Eurizon.
