Last week, markets initially slumped after the U.S. threatened to impose a 50% tariff on European imports — a move that would’ve escalated already fragile trade tensions. But a swift backflip by the White House sparked a sharp relief rally, lifting European and U.S. equities.

In this episode, we unpack a flurry of data that lifted market sentiment and the risks that continue to sit beneath the surface. U.S. stocks rose on the back of strong jobs and earnings data, with 72% of S&P 500 companies beating expectations and nonfarm payrolls coming in ahead of forecast. But the outlook remains uncertain. President Trump’s mixed signals on trade deals, cautious corporate guidance, and weakening global demand continue to weigh on sentiment. We discuss what’s driving market optimism, where the cracks are showing, and why oil prices may be the surprising offset to tariff-driven inflation.

In this episode, we unpack a turbulent week in global markets as trade tensions, political uncertainty, and bond market volatility take centre stage.
Key highlights include:
Markets on edge: Equity markets recoiled early in the week amid escalating U.S.–China trade tensions and concerns over central bank independence, before staging a modest recovery.
Yields on the move: U.S. 10-year Treasury yields surged past 4.4% before easing — a reflection of rising inflation fears and fragile investor sentiment. Australian yields followed a similar arc.
Global outlook softens: The IMF downgraded growth forecasts, adding to the cautious mood.
