Today, the global market is moving under the shadow of political and economic uncertainty across regions. Major news highlights three significant points:
1. Geopolitical & diplomatic tensions are rising. – Trump is openly lobbying regarding Netanyahu in the Knesset, – The EU is strengthening its role in Gaza following the US peace deal, – Netanyahu rejects the invitation to the Egypt peace summit. All of this makes the market wary of geopolitical risks in the Middle East.
2. Macroeconomic conditions remain tense but not panicked. – The BOE (Bank of England) is still holding interest rates high until 2026, – Senegal and Brookfield have successfully attracted investor interest through bonds and energy deals, – However, the corporate sector is starting to wobble: Virgin Atlantic, Beyond Meat, and French Brands have lost their CEOs almost simultaneously. This reinforces the narrative of “corporate stress.”
3. Commodity and labor markets remain strong. – OPEC maintains its oil outlook, – Amazon is still hiring massively for the holiday season (a sign that consumer demand has not completely fallen). This means: the global economy is still holding, but the risks of asset rotation are increasing.
Global markets today are moving defensively. Technology stocks are under pressure, while gold and the US dollar are strengthening, indicating a return to risk-off sentiment at the beginning of the week.
The price of gold surged by 1.47% to 4,076,820 rupiah per ounce, while $PAXG rose by 1.2%. This surge in precious metal prices indicates a capital rotation towards safe assets amidst the weakening of major US stock indices.
The S&P 500 index sharply fell by 2.71%, while QQQ, which tracks Nasdaq technology stocks, plummeted by 3.47%. NVIDIA shares fell nearly 5%, reflecting significant pressure in the technology sector after high valuations in recent months. Meanwhile, the VIX volatility index fell by 5.5% to 20.46, indicating that this correction is more technical than a mass panic.
On the macro side, the US dollar index (DXY) strengthened by 0.44% to 98.9, supported by a decline in the 10-year US Treasury yield to 4.06%. Investors are clearly choosing the dollar and bonds as a safe haven for the time being.
The cryptocurrency market also experienced a slight correction. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell by about 0.5%, with Bitcoin weakening by 0.45% to 114,568 dollars, and Ethereum dropping by 1.25% to 4,104 dollars. BTC dominance remained stable at 59.49%, while USDT dominance rose to 4.69%, indicating a shift of funds to stablecoins without major outflows from the digital market.
Overall, global markets today are moving cautiously. Funds are flowing out of the risky sector towards hedge assets like gold and the dollar, but without signs of systemic pressure. Investors are now awaiting the release of US inflation data this week, which will determine the direction of The Fed's policy and the next market sentiment.
