La renta variable ha experimentado un gran comportamiento este trimestre, tanto en EE.UU. como en Europa. Entre abril y junio, el S&P 500 ha subido un 15%, mientras que el Stoxx 600 ha repuntado cerca de un 12%. Con este impulso, firman el mejor trimestre desde 2020. ¿Qué hay detrás de estas subidas? Analizamos la escena con Ismael García Puente, Director Adjunto de Estrategia de Inversiones de Mapfre AM. En su informe RoadMap, Mapfre AM observa una reducción del riesgo geopolítico, especialmente a partir de la firma del memorando de entendimiento entre EE.UU. e Irán. A esto se suman "unos beneficios empresariales espectaculares apoyados en el furor de la IA", tal y como apunta García Puente. El RoadMap de Mapfre AM es el informe y análisis mensual que elabora la gestora de activos sobre las perspectivas de los mercados financieros y la situación macroeconómica global. Este espacio analiza el impacto de factores como la geopolítica, la inflación y los tipos de interés en la renta fija y variable.

Il 9 luglio 2026 i mercati europei chiudono in verde, ma sotto la superficie si muovono forze che ogni investitore retail dovrebbe capire. Non basta guardare il segno più: bisogna sapere perché è arrivato e quanto può durare.Il FTSE MIB chiude a 52.381 punti (+1,1%), trascinato da STM (+3,78%) e Prysmian (+2,7%). La spinta arriva dalla quotazione a New York di SK Hynix, che ha fatto volare i semiconduttori europei. Anche Madrid (+1,55%) e Francoforte (+1%) hanno beneficiato dello stesso effetto. Sul fronte obbligazionario italiano, lo spread BTP-Bund si stabilizza intorno a 75-80 punti base e il rendimento del BTP decennale scende verso 3,84-3,88%.Dall'altra parte dell'Atlantico il quadro è diverso. I verbali della Fed risultano restrittivi: il Treasury USA a 10 anni sale al 4,57%, il trentennale tocca il 5,07%, massimo delle ultime otto settimane. Lo yen crolla, con USD/JPY vicino a 162,6, massimo di 52 settimane. L'indice bancario europeo Stoxx perde quasi il 3%.Segui TraDetector Cafe su Spotify e Apple Podcasts per capire i mercati senza filtri. Approfondimenti e analisi su tradetector.com.
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a NATO summit in Turkey on Wednesday that will be charged with tension over the US leader’s views on Greenland, European defense spending and the Iran war. Trump arrives in Turkey on Tuesday, when he will meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan before a summit with the full defense alliance the next day, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said. Meantime, Ukraine failed to intercept a single Russian ballistic missile in a deadly overnight attack on the eve of the NATO summit, highlighting Kyiv’s growing vulnerability as shortages of US-made Patriot air defenses become acute and peace talks remain stalled. Eleven people were killed and 60 injured in the overnight strikes on Kyiv that caused destruction in several districts of the city, damaging multiple residential buildings, Zelenskyy said Monday on X.2) Oil fluctuated in a narrow range, as flows through the Strait of Hormuz persisted and OPEC+ signaled higher supplies. Brent traded above $72 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was near $69. Oil and gas shipping along a US-protected corridor in the waterway showed signs of recovering Sunday, a day after several vessels had performed unexplained U-turns and detours in the energy chokepoint. Separately, OPEC+ members backed another modest rise in quotas for next month, with seven nations led by Saudi Arabia and Russia agreeing to add 188,000 barrels a day in a further roll-back of curbs made several years ago.3) US futures signaled a mild rebound in technology stocks at the start of a week in which South Korea’s memory giants will put the artificial-intelligence trade to yet another test. Nasdaq 100 contracts climbed 1% after the US holiday break. The Stoxx 600 hovered near a record high. Asian stocks fluctuated, with Samsung Electronics Co.’s 164% year-to-date rally set to face the spotlight when the chipmaker releases earnings for the June quarter on Tuesday. The report will be followed days later by peer SK Hynix Inc.’s massive ADR listing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Trump sits down for an exclusive interview with out colleagues Stateside and defends the conflict in Iran, accusing Tehran of exploiting prior administrations over the past 47 years. Trump also said markets backed his intervention. U.S. jobs growth slowed in June with just 57, 000 non-farm positions added. U.S. and European markets have now downgraded expectations of a rate hike. Europe's Stoxx 600 notches a fresh record high and futures also remain in the green for the end of the week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Oil fell for a third day as flows through the Strait of Hormuz climbed and there were signs of progress in indirect talks between the US and Iran. Brent for September traded below $71 a barrel, after sliding more than 3% in the previous two sessions, while West Texas Intermediate was around $68. Oil supply through the critical waterway has reached more than 10 million barrels a day, underscoring Tehran’s now-limited ability to halt shipping, a US official said, while President Donald Trump hailed progress in negotiations.2) The latest bout of volatility in technology stocks entered a second day, with chipmakers in South Korea bearing the brunt of the selling. The dollar fell and Treasuries wavered ahead of the June US payrolls report.Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 0.4% after semiconductors led Wall Street lower in the previous session. S&P 500 contracts were flat. Memory makers SK Hynix Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. lost a combined $290 billion in value to drive a 7.9% slump in South Korea’s Kospi index. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 rose 0.5%, with technology among only three of the 20 index sectors to lose ground.3) The SEC is looking into Susquehanna International Group’s allegations that unknown insider traders made $100 million on options bets ahead of a recent Chinese regulatory crackdown on cross-border brokerages, according to a person familiar with the matter.Susquehanna went public with its claims in a lawsuit filed Monday in Manhattan federal court. The US Securities and Exchange Commission is examining the trades described in the market-making firm’s complaint, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing the confidential probe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Warm-Up - 250 Years! - We have the scorecard - Bulls are on the loose! - Kevin Hassett - what a putz - RAM JOB! Markets - Google's first day in the DJIA - a good one - SpaceX bonds already losing -Yen slips to 1986 levels - Yentervention? WHAT A PUTZ! - Trump Accounts launch July 4, with the NYSE and Nasdaq set to ring the opening bell from the Oval Office. - Program gives a $1,000 Treasury-funded investment account to U.S. children born from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028. - Kids under 18 can have accounts, but only newborns in that four-year window get the federal seed money. - Parents, family, employers, nonprofits, and governments can add money, with a general $5,000 annual contribution cap. - Money is invested in index funds and generally locked up until the child reaches adulthood. - Kevin Hassett pitched it as a way to teach kids about markets, ownership, saving, and compounding. His argument is that the more young people get exposed to investing early, and market ownership becomes less of an upper-income club. - However - > the government is handing out taxpayer-funded brokerage seed money while selling it as capitalism. - Also odd: the benefit may skew toward families who already know how to file forms, open accounts, and add more money. - So basically it is a forced financial-literacy experiment wrapped in a political brand name, with a socialist starter check to teach capitalism. First-Half Winners and Losers - S&P 500 finished the first half up roughly 7% to 8%, with the rally led by AI hardware, chips, memory, and data-center infrastructure. - Biggest winners were the shovel sellers: Sandisk up about 780%, Micron up about 296%, Western Digital up about 240%, Seagate up about 226%. - Overseas AI hardware ripped too: South Korea's Kospi up 123%, helped by Samsung up 169% and SK Hynix up 303%. - Semiconductor ETFs had a monster Q2: iShares Semiconductor ETF up 86.8%, VanEck Semiconductor ETF up 64.8%. - Japan's Nikkei rose about 38%; FTSE 100 gained about 5.8%. - Losers were the software/platform names that could not prove immediate AI payoff. - Microsoft was down about 24% despite being one of the biggest AI spenders. - Momentum stocks had one of their worst stretches in two decades as the Magnificent Seven slipped on capex worries. - Crypto and gold also lagged the AI-infrastructure trade. - Equity BULLS are running like it was San Fermin, Spain... MORE.... - Gold biggest quarterly loss since 2013 - Japan best quarter ever - Oil starts and ends - Kospi best quarter in 30 years - Stoxx 600 best Q in 5 years Something is going to break! - When Micro announced earnings, and we see that companies are panicking (News about existential threat to smaller tech players).. We said something is going to break - MU shares lifted to ATH on the news - big big beat - Micron's latest quarter showed a dramatic acceleration from the year-ago period, with revenue rising from $9,301 to $41,460 and EPS increasing from $1.91 to $25.11. - HUGE uptick in guidance - Apple increased pricing, Dell is increasing prices next week (17%), Microsoft raised price on XBox, HP across the board increase, Lenovo/Xiaomi increases, - NOW: Apple is lobbying the Trump administration for clearance to buy memory chips from China's ChangXin Memory Technologies Korea Goes All-In On AI Memory - Samsung and SK Hynix are backing a huge South Korea chip buildout tied to AI memory, HBM, advanced DRAM, packaging and data centers. - Samsung's plan includes hundreds of trillions of won for new fabs, including HBM facilities in Cheonan and Onyang. - SK Hynix is expanding Yongin and planning a major new chip base as it rides demand from Nvidia-linked HBM supply. - Government angle: Seoul wants domestic chip capacity treated like national infrastructure, not just corporate capex. - The state is trying to lock in supply-chain control before China, Taiwan, Japan and the U.S. pull more production into their own subsidy zones. - Market wrinkle: AI memory is hot now, but memory companies have a long history of overbuilding into strong pricing cycles. - Governments are no longer just subsidizing chips — they are helping plan semiconductor cities. RAM Job? - Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron were hit with a U.S. antitrust class-action lawsuit over alleged DRAM price fixing. - Allegation: the big three coordinated supply cuts while shifting capacity away from regular DDR3/DDR4 memory and into high-bandwidth memory for AI servers. - Plaintiffs say the three companies control roughly 90% of the DRAM market. - Conventional DRAM prices allegedly jumped about 700% over four years. - Complaint argues that in a normal commodity market, at least one supplier would usually increase production when prices spike. - Instead, the lawsuit says all three moved in the same direction at the same time. DRAM: We Have Seen This Movie Before - Yes, there was a similar DRAM price-fixing scandal in the 2000s. - DOJ investigation covered alleged DRAM price fixing from roughly 1998 through 2002. - Hynix pleaded guilty in 2005 and agreed to pay a $185 million criminal fine. - Samsung pleaded guilty in 2005 and agreed to pay a $300 million criminal fine. - Infineon pleaded guilty earlier, in 2004, and agreed to pay a $160 million fine. - Micron was involved in the investigation but received amnesty/cooperation treatment rather than the same criminal fine path. - Several executives were also charged or pleaded guilty. - State AGs and private plaintiffs later pursued civil cases tied to overpayment claims. - Difference now: the new case is not yet proven and appears focused on alleged coordinated supply restriction during the AI/HBM boom. Chevron and Microsoft - Chevron Corp signed 20-year deal with Microsoft for data center power. - Agreement supplies natural-gas fired generation for massive West Texas facility. - Project Kilby expected online 2028, ramping to 2.67 gigawatts. - Full output enough to power more than 530,000 Texas homes. - Chevron partnering Engine No. 1, final investment decision planned later. - Deal follows prior reports of exclusive long-term power negotiations. More Oil News - Drill baby Drill - Interior Department cutting federal drilling bonds by 95% to spur exploration. - Required bond drops from $500,000 to $25,000 for leases. - Bonds ensure cleanup costs don't fall on taxpayers if wells abandoned. - Policy change aims to encourage more oil and gas development. - Proposal subject to 60-day public comment after Federal Register publication. Dow 52,000 and the Tech Bounce - Dow closed above 52,000 for the first time Monday, finishing at 52,182.74. - S&P 500 gained 1.18%; Nasdaq jumped 2.07%. - S&P and Nasdaq snapped five-session losing streaks. - Alphabet rose 4.8% on its first day as a Dow component. - Tesla gained 8.5%; SpaceX rose more than 7%. - The bounce came after last week's tech selloff, with investors rotating back into mega-cap and AI names. Comcast Breaks Itself Up - Comcast plans to split media and connectivity into two separate companies. - NBCUniversal and Sky would be spun off in a tax-free deal; Comcast keeps broadband, wireless, and cable. - Completion expected within a year. - Shareholders would own both Comcast and the new NBCUniversal. - Comcast shares rose on the news; Charter also jumped as investors speculated Comcast could eventually pursue a broadband-scale deal. AI Trade Gets a Warning Label - Bank for International Settlements flagged the AI boom as a financial-stability risk. - The main concerns: elevated valuations, investor complacency, complex funding structures, and debt financing across the AI supply chain. - BIS also warned that record public debt and leveraged hedge-fund activity in sovereign bonds could amplify shocks. - Quote from BIS General Manager Pablo Hernandez de Cos: "Policy actions must reinforce each other." - The interesting part: central bankers are not saying AI is fake; they are saying the financing stack may be fragile. Inflation Back Above 4% - BEA's PCE price index rose 4.1% year over year in May. - April was 3.8%; March was 3.5%; February was 2.9%. - This keeps pressure on the Fed because PCE is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge. - Core PCE may later be revised lower because of BEA methodology changes. - Goldman estimated May core PCE could be trimmed to 3.2% from 3.4%; JPMorgan expected 3.3%. - Funny-but-real detail: part of the potential revision comes from how BEA prices portfolio management, legal services, and computer software. Jobs Report Becomes Bad-News-Is-Bad-News - June payrolls are due Thursday because markets are closed Friday for Independence Day. - The setup is awkward: strong jobs could mean stronger economy, but also higher odds of Fed hikes. - Looking back - May payrolls were hot at 172,000 versus an 85,000 forecast, with unemployment steady at 4.3%. - Remember - after the June Fed meeting, policymakers were clearly focused on inflation, not rescue cuts. Oil, Iran, and the Market's New Weird Routine - Oil stayed volatile around renewed U.S.-Iran tensions and peace-talk headlines. - Brent rose 1.6% Monday to $73.15; WTI rose 2.2% to $70.75. - Markets rallied anyway, helped by signs talks would resume and shipping routes were stabilizing. - The odd market behavior: geopolitical escalation keeps getting followed by de-escalation headlines and risk-on rallies. - This is now part of the trading pattern: weekend war scare, Monday relief rally, repeat. --- New attacks by USA on Iran happened at approx 4:30PM on Friday (markets closed) and then a halt to the fighting on Sunday - before the futures opened. Odd : Wendy's Becomes a Meme Stock - Wendy's became the latest retail-trader short-squeeze target. - Stock surged 25% last Wednesday, then gained another 9% Thursday. - Barron's said the move followed a CFO shakeup and WallStreetBets attention. - New CFO Steve Cirulis came from Potbelly and is also taking the Chief Strategy Officer title. - Wendy's had fallen 47% over the past year before the rally. - Short interest was nearly 30% of the public float, making the stock easier to squeeze. - Trian, Nelson Peltz's firm, owned nearly 15 million shares valued around $93 million. SpaceX Bonds Slip After Big Debut - SpaceX sold $25 billion of investment-grade bonds, its first major public debt deal. - Demand was huge, with roughly $85 billion to $98 billion of orders. - The 10-year tranche priced about 1.4 percentage points over Treasurys. - Bonds weakened quickly after pricing. - The 10-year yield rose near 6%, with the spread moving above 1.6 percentage points. - Longer-dated 2046 and 2056 bonds took the most pressure. - The pushback: bond buyers want more yield for a company still funding rockets, Starlink, AI/data-center spending, and Mars ambitions. - Clean read: equity investors bought the story; bond investors immediately marked it down. Yentervention - Yen weakened again, pushing toward the 162-per-dollar zone and near its weakest level in about 40 years. - Japan keeps warning it is ready for "decisive action" or to respond "at any time." - Market does not seem scared for long. - Japan already spent heavily defending the yen, including a roughly $73 billion yen-buying operation after the currency broke past 160. - U.S. rates are still high, the Fed is not rushing to cut, and the Bank of Japan is still moving slowly. - That keeps the carry trade alive: borrow cheap yen, buy higher-yielding dollars. - Japan's foreign reserves fell 5.6% in May after intervention, showing the defense is expensive.

S&P futures are up +0.2% as of now and indicating a higher open today. Asian equities closed mostly higher Wednesday. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan all recorded modest gains, sustained by strength in semiconductor names. Greater China markets were the underperformers. European markets are mixed in early trading with the STOXX 600 and French CAC relatively firmer. Companies Mentioned: Amazon, Samsung Electronics
Die US-Futures starten fester in die verkürzte Handelswoche: Dow-Futures +527 Punkte, S&P 500 +1,4 %, Nasdaq 100 +2,2 %. Grund ist die Hoffnung auf ein mögliches Abkommen zur Beendigung des Krieges zwischen den USA und dem Iran. Auch international zieht die Stimmung an: Nikkei +5 %, Kospi +5,2 %, Stoxx 600 +0,6 %. Öl fällt um rund 5 % auf etwa 80 Dollar, nachdem Trump die Wiederöffnung der Straße von Hormus signalisiert hat. SpaceX bleibt im Fokus: Nach +19 % beim Rekord-Börsendebüt legt die Aktie am zweiten Handelstag weitere knapp 6 % zu. Gleichzeitig enttäuscht der Empire-State-Index mit 5,7 Punkten – Makrodaten bleiben also der Realitätscheck für die Rally.

Welcome to this week's Titan International market review for the week ending 31st May 2026. Global equity markets closed out May on a high note, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossing 51,000 for the first time and the S&P 500 posting a ninth consecutive weekly gain — its longest winning run in several years. The dominant driver was a tentative but meaningful breakthrough in the Middle East: reports emerged that the US and Iran had agreed in principle to a 60-day ceasefire extension and a memorandum of understanding to commence formal nuclear negotiations, contingent on a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The other defining story of the week was AI-driven earnings momentum, which continued to broaden beyond the largest technology platforms. The macro backdrop, however, offered a more complicated picture. In Europe, markets were broadly flat, with the STOXX 600 advancing just 0.14% as investors remained focused on Strait of Hormuz developments. That's all for this week's Titan International Weekly Podcast. Thank you for listening and for further investment insights head over to titanwealthinternational.com.

Welcome to this week's Titan International market review for the week ending 24th May 2026. Global equity markets continued to advance in the week ending 24 May, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a fresh all-time high and the S&P 500 posting its eighth consecutive weekly gain — its longest winning streak since 2023. The advance came despite a volatile early start to the week as Treasury yields climbed sharply on the back of hawkish Fed minutes and persistent inflation data. The macro backdrop, however, remains distinctly challenging.

Las bolsas vuelven a moverse en zona de máximos históricos. Las esperanzas de un acuerdo de paz en Oriente Medio y que China haya acelerado su crecimiento al 5% en el primer trimestre mantienen la confianza. El conflicto parece encauzarse hacia una resolución y permite relajar las alertas geopolíticas.. la mayor calma se traslada al mercado del petróleo con el barril de Brent en el entorno de los 95-96 dólares. A Europa le está costando un poquito más seguir los récords históricos de Wall Street y del Nikkei japonés.. el Dax alemán sufre para apuntalar el nivel de los 24.000 puntos y el índice paneuropeo Stoxx 600 duda cerca de los 620 puntos. El primer análisis con José Manuel Amor, socio director de Análisis Económico y de Mercados de AFI.
La guerra en Irán golpea las cuentas de Kering y Hermès y hunde al sector del lujo con Burberry, Christian Dior, LVMH y Moncler entre los peores del índice paneuropeo Stoxx 600. En un comunicado, Hermès ha explicado que sus resultados se han visto condicionados por la “caída en el flujo de turistas por la situación en Oriente Próximo”. ASML obtiene en el primer trimestre del año unos beneficios netos de 2.756 millones de euros frente a los 2.355 millones del mismo periodo de 2025. Esto significa un beneficio por acción de 7,15 euros por debajo de las expectativas del mercado. De vuelta a la actualidad nacional, la AIReF rebaja al 2,3% su previsión de PIB en 2026, con elevados riesgos a la baja por la guerra aunque "España afronta las consecuencias de este conflicto desde una posición más favorable" y el ministro de Hacienda, Arcadi España, defiende la implantación de un impuesto temporal a las energéticas. Entrevistaremos a Fernando Vázquez, Senior Partner de ERA Group, para hablar de cómo las tensiones en Oriente Medio ya están impactando en el bolsillo de los españoles. En la Tertulia de Cierre de Mercados nos acompañarán José Ramón Pin, profesor emérito del IESE, y Javier Rodríguez, de AERI.

In this episode of The European Market Brief, Mark Longo is joined by Dr. Russell Rhoads (IU Kelley School of Business), Steve Sosnick (Interactive Brokers), and Matt Riley (Eurex) to dissect a rapidly shifting landscape. With the Iran conflict crossing the one-month mark, the panel explores why the "shock and awe" expectations of a quick resolution have evaporated, replaced by fears of a lingering market impact through the end of the year. Key Topics Covered: The VSTOXX 30-Handle: We haven't seen these levels in a year. Is the current spike justified, or are traders "once bitten, twice shy" after the quick recoveries of 2025? The Great Divergence: Why the U.S. and Europe are splitting on rate expectations—from "endless cuts" to potential hikes. Free Data for the "Eurex-Curious": Steve Sosnick breaks down Interactive Brokers' new initiative providing free real-time Eurex data for retail and institutional traders. Rotation vs. Repatriation: Is the "Sell America" trade real? Why investors are looking at the STOXX 600 for value and diversification away from the Mag 7. The Red Phone: The team answers listener questions on the Brent/WTI spread and whether the U.S. Midterms are actually being priced into European vol. This episode is brought to you by Eurex—the home of Euro STOXX, VSTOXX, DAX, and European rates derivatives.

En ny virkelighed udspiller sig i disse år. Da finanskrisen ramte, faldt aktiemarkederne i gennemsnit med over 55 pct. Da oliekrisen ramte, tog nogle af verdens mest stabile aktier nogle kæmpe hug. Nu er der toldkrig, hybridkrig og regulær krig. Læg dertil en verden truet af splittelse og mistro. Alligevel har de amerikanske aktieindeks været i rekord flere gange i det seneste år, og selv i kriseramte Europa endte det ledende aktieindeks Stoxx 600 i plus. Hør i denne uges Global, om investorerne har fået is i maven, og om vi ikke længere skal frygte langvarige aktienedture, lige meget hvad der sker. Gæst: Thomas Høy, global korrespondent, Finans.

Gli Stati Uniti hanno annunciato nuovi dazi contro otto Paesi europei che hanno rafforzato la presenza militare in Groenlandia: tariffe del 10% dal 1° febbraio, destinate a salire al 25% da giugno, come strumento di pressione per ottenere la cessione del territorio dalla Danimarca a Washington. Francia e Svezia hanno respinto il ricatto, mentre il Parlamento europeo ha reagito bloccando la ratifica dell'accordo commerciale Ue-Usa siglato nel 2025. Secondo il Financial Times, Bruxelles valuta contromisure per 93 miliardi di euro o restrizioni all'accesso delle imprese americane al mercato europeo, inclusa l'attivazione dello strumento anti-coercizione. Intanto la Danimarca ha smentito l'esistenza di minacce imminenti da Russia e Cina, contestando la narrativa di Trump, che ha ulteriormente rilanciato lo scontro con dichiarazioni aggressive rivolte agli alleati Nato. Interviene Adriana Cerretelli, editorialista Sole 24 Ore BruxellesLa Schizofrenia dei mercati tra i dazi di Trump e i record EuropeiL'inizio del 2026 mostra mercati finanziari apparentemente indifferenti a un cambio di regime profondo: dal commercio globale imperfetto a un mercantilismo esplicito, in cui i dazi diventano leva geopolitica. Nonostante le tensioni legate alla Groenlandia, la reazione degli investitori è stata contenuta: leggere correzioni azionarie, euro stabile e movimenti moderati dei beni rifugio. Paradossalmente, mentre il quadro politico europeo si fa più fragile, le borse del continente corrono: lo Stoxx 600 segna una lunga serie di rialzi e sovraperforma nettamente Wall Street, trainato da settori ciclici, difesa e "old economy". Al tempo stesso, il forte afflusso verso oro e argento segnala un'esigenza di copertura contro l'instabilità, indicando che gli investitori cercano protezione più che rendimento in uno scenario di crescente incertezza strutturale. Il commento è di Lorenzo Codogno, Visiting professor alla London School of Economics e al College of EuropeNon solo dazi, la UE dopo il Mercosur guarda all'India, la Cina al CanadaIl World Economic Forum di Davos si apre in un contesto segnato da tensioni geopolitiche e dalla ricerca di nuove rotte commerciali alternative ai dazi americani. L'Unione europea accelera sul fronte degli accordi: dopo la storica intesa con il Mercosur, guarda all'India come partner strategico, con l'obiettivo di chiudere un accordo di libero scambio entro gennaio. La missione del cancelliere tedesco Merz a New Delhi conferma questo orientamento, anche se alcuni dossier industriali restano aperti. Parallelamente, la Cina ha siglato un accordo con il Canada per normalizzare i rapporti commerciali, riducendo dazi su veicoli elettrici e prodotti agricoli, segnando un raffreddamento delle tensioni e una diversificazione delle alleanze commerciali globali in risposta al nuovo protezionismo statunitense.

On today's podcast:1) Global stock gauges have record highs in their sights after a week in which affirmation that the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate easing cycle remains intact helped clear the way for a year-end rally. Europe’s Stoxx 600 rose as much as 0.5% to a fresh peak. A measure for Asia advanced to less than 2% from its all-time high.

The shares fell about 5% in premarket trading on Friday, following unsettling commentary from Chief Executive Officer Hock Tan on a conference call with analysts. He said the company has a backlog of $73 billion in AI product orders that will be shipped over the next six quarters — a number that disappointed some investors. But Tan sought to clarify that the figure was a “minimum.” 3) President Trump said the US would be willing to contribute assistance to Ukraine as part of a security agreement to end the war with Russia, but continued to express frustration with the pace of talks.

This episode delves into the world of European dividends and the specialized futures and options markets used to trade them. Host Mark Longo is joined by Dr. Russell Rhoads (Indiana University), Lorena Dishnica (Head of Dividend Products, Eurex), and Sahand Taghizadeh (Head of Investable Stocks Benchmarks, STOXX). Key Differences: Unlike the U.S. with its quarterly payments and buyback culture, Europe favors annual dividends, with a "dividend season" in spring/summer. Dividend Futures: Eurex pioneered a listed market for dividend derivatives in 2008. These products allow traders to isolate and hedge dividend risk, which is a key need for banks that issue structured products. Analyzing the Market: The most liquid contracts are the annual Decembers. They can be used to gauge the market's fundamental outlook, as their prices are sensitive to corporate cash flow forecasts and macroeconomic events. The Curve: The European dividend futures curve often shows a downward slope, known as backwardation, reflecting the heavy hedging activity. Listener Question: A listener asks about smaller contract sizes. While dividend futures are not yet micro-sized, the options on them offer a way for traders to manage their capital commitment.
