Geopolitical tensions and inflation stabilization in Europe

The situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly tense. General Razei from Iran threatened a full-scale offensive if attacks from the United States continue. In response, the USA has sent additional tanker aircraft to Israel, preparing for a possible escalation of the conflict. These events are crucial for the markets as they may affect oil prices and global supply chains. Investors are anxiously watching the situation, which is reflected in the decline of the Fear & Greed index to a level of 39/100, indicating rising fear in the market.

Data on inflation in the eurozone indicates price stabilization. The final CPI m/m index was -0.1%, in line with forecasts, while the annual CPI index remained at 2.8%. Stabilization of inflation is crucial for the European Central Bank, which is trying to balance monetary policy in the face of global economic tensions. For investors, this data may signal that the ECB will not be forced to make sudden changes in interest rate policy, which could contribute to the stabilization of European markets.

The next FOMC meeting is approaching, and investors are closely monitoring expectations regarding interest rates in the USA. Currently, predictions indicate that rates will be maintained at 3.50-3.75% with an 85.6% probability. At the same time, industrial production in the USA increased by 0.1% m/m, which was in line with previous results but below forecasts. Stable economic data may influence the Fed's decision, which is currently balancing between supporting economic growth and controlling inflation. These decisions will have a significant impact on financial markets, especially in the context of the changing global situation.

Meta is in talks about renting computing power for Anthropic, indicating further expansion in the computing technology sector. These actions are seen as part of the company's strategy to increase its presence in the artificial intelligence and data processing sector. The development of this collaboration may affect Meta's stock value, as well as the competitive dynamics in the technology industry. Investors will be watching how these negotiations impact Meta's position in the context of the global technology market.

Tomorrow may bring further information regarding geopolitical tensions that could affect commodity prices and market stability. Investors should pay attention to any new economic data from the USA that may influence expectations regarding the Fed's decisions, as well as the progress in Meta's talks with Anthropic, which could impact the investment technology landscape.
