Global Markets:
Most European stocks traded higher on Monday, as investors digested increasing tensions in the Middle East following strikes by both Israel and Hezbollah over the weekend.
Asian markets ended mixed, with some finding support from the anticipation of lower U.S. interest rates. However, Japanese markets retreated amidst pressure from the yen and speculation about potential rate hikes by the Bank of Japan. The upcoming Tokyo inflation data is expected to provide more clarity on the trajectory of Japanese interest rates.
Sentiment was also influenced by the People’s Bank of China’s withdrawal of approximately 101 billion yuan ($14.2 billion) from the open market. While this move aimed to strengthen the yuan, it also raised concerns about the extent of Beijing’s support for the Chinese economy.
Regional markets drew initial strength from the positive performance of Wall Street, where the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average approached record highs on Friday.

In his speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on Friday, Powell highlighted the factors contributing to recent inflation, including increased demand for goods, supply chain disruptions, tight labor markets, and rising commodity prices. He also clarified that the recent rise in the unemployment rate is primarily due to increased labor supply and slower hiring, rather than widespread layoffs.
The S&P 500 gained 1.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.1%, and the NASDAQ Composite surged 1.5%.
However, caution prevailed ahead of a series of crucial events this week.

Additionally, the PCE price index data, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, is scheduled for later in the week.
