Inflation data the highlight in terms of European releases today
The pound may have recovered well after its crash on Monday but the heightened volatility isn’t exactly a good sign for the currency itself, as it is arguably a sign that traders are shouting for more credible policy between the central bank and the government. The dollar is little changed so far today after backing away from its highs in the past two days, with month-end and quarter-end trading also in focus. The swings are likely to continue today so that will make it tricky to interpret things until we get to next week.
All eyes will stay on the bond market as a signal for broader market sentiment but as mentioned above, there might be mixed flows taking place with month-end and quarter-end rebalancing also something to consider. The technicals are your best friend in these sorts of situation, so that will at least help provide some guidance amid the recent bout of volatility ahead of the weekend.

BlackRock claims that the market is underestimating the depth of the recession necessary, leading them to avoid investing in stocks.
BlackRock lead off their view on equities with this. Its about as blunt as you’ll get from analysts:
- Many central banks aren’t acknowledging the extent of recession needed to rapidly reduce inflation.
- Markets haven’t priced that so we shun most stocks.
More detail from the asset management firm:
Whenever a stock goes against the general trend, you’re assuming if there’s something wrong w/ that particular stock.
