Global stocks rose on renewed optimism that the United States and China are nearing a trade agreement. The upbeat sentiment also lifted commodity prices, with copper and oil posting gains. In contrast, Treasuries declined and gold slipped. Looking ahead, investors face a pivotal week featuring interest rate decisions from four G7 central banks and earnings reports from five of the ‘Mag-7’ tech giants—Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Apple, and Amazon. Joining the show is Markus Wachter from our Technical Analysis team. He discusses the significance of Japan’s Nikkei breaking above the 50,000-point level and shares his outlook on the Swiss franc, anticipating the end of a prolonged consolidation phase.
