Commentary
Risk tone is stronger, led by a tech rebound in the US and sharp gains in Japan and Korea. The Nasdaq closed up more than 2%, while futures are still positive this morning. The yen remains under heavy pressure, with USD/JPY above 162, keeping intervention risk firmly on the radar.
China data helped sentiment, with June manufacturing PMI beating expectations. Oil is softer despite ongoing Hormuz headlines, suggesting markets are treating the shipping risk as contained for now. Gold remains under pressure, reflecting hawkish Fed pricing and reduced safe-haven demand.
