The desk advocates for a cautious stance on the equity markets, reflecting concerns about escalating geopolitical tensions and economic data trends. Per the full note [source], recent volatility has primarily arisen from the Middle East conflict and unexpected shifts in fiscal and trade policies, compounded by softer economic indicators. This signals a potential headwind for U.S. equities, which may impact related currency pairs. With January's U.S. inflation rate slightly easing to 6% from 6.5%, the market's focus will likely shift to these economic signals as a precursor to the Fed's policy decisions.

The desk interprets recent equity performance discussions from UBS Asset Management as indicative of a volatile yet fundamentally robust market, with key influences from earnings growth amid geopolitical tensions. Per the full note [source], the first half of the year saw a 10% gain in the S&P 500, despite challenges posed by AI spending and instability in the Middle East. Notably, the 15% second-quarter surge was the strongest in six years, underscoring significant market resilience driven by earnings. This commentary aligns with our bullish stance on equities, anticipating continued upward momentum with potential implications for broader asset flows, including FX markets.
