Financial Market Preview - Friday 14-Aug

US equity futures are modestly firmer, while Asian equities are mixed, and European equities are also mixed. Risk sentiment remains supported by lower Fed tightening expectations after softer-than-expected US producer inflation reinforced the disinflation narrative following the in-line CPI report. September rate-hike expectations have fallen to around 30% from 50% earlier in the week, while recent AI-related earnings remain supportive for technology sentiment. Meanwhile, there has been no diplomatic progress in the US-Iran situation, with the US sending another aircraft carrier to the region and Treasury Secretary Bessent flagging new economic measures against Iran next week.Companies Mentioned: Carlyle Group

Market sentiment remains supported by the in-line US inflation reading, which eased yields and reduced expectations for a September Fed rate hike. The AI trade is also firmer, supported by recent earnings and a positive corporate earnings outlook, while European macro data have generally surprised to the upside. Middle East developments remain a source of uncertainty, with little progress toward reviving the interim US-Iran peace agreement and traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remaining subdued.Companies Mentioned: SHEIN, Ford Motor, AEVEX Corp

S&P 500 futures are flat. Treasury and JGB yields up one to two basis points along the curve. Crude is strengthening amid latest setback in Strait of Hormuz-reopening talks. Gold is steady while silver edging higher. Dollar is firming against majors, strongest against yen and Korean won. Bitcoin little changed. Efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz remain stalled following a series of hard-line demands from Iran. Although Foreign Minister Araghchi claims a deal with Oman is nearing completion, he stressed that reopening the strait depends on the U.S. paying billions in compensation, withdrawing regional forces, unfreezing assets, and lifting sanctions. The U.S. has dismissed these conditions as unacceptable, with President Trump indicating he is willing to continue the economic pressure campaign as long as gas prices remain stable.Companies mentioned: Ashland, Trump Media & Technology Group, Paramount Skydance
