📌 Market Comment

Risk appetite is weaker this morning, with Asian equities broadly lower and US futures mixed to softer. The main drivers are renewed Middle East uncertainty, softer AI sentiment following Broadcom’s update, and reports that the Bank of Japan may consider further tightening. Bonds are slightly firmer, the dollar is softer, gold is supported, while oil is lower despite geopolitical risk as weak Chinese import demand weighs on the complex.
