Peace Was Cheaper

After a roaring start to the year, it seems something has shifted. A sense of unease has crept in as Washington's intentions - towards friends, rivals and neighbors - grow louder and harder to ignore. America's new interventionism is forcing markets to reprice risk.

The "next move" is causing some tension in the financial markets

Stock market indices took a break yesterday, caught up in fears about the United States' intentions toward its neighbors near and far, its allies and its enemies. Washington's openly interventionist policy is raising new questions and leading financial markets to reassess their risk estimates. At this stage, the situation remains somewhat unclear.

Geopolitics Tests the Rally

Day by day, it can feel as though the world is edging toward a dystopian script. A grinding war in Ukraine drags on, Venezuela's strongman has been captured in a show of modern force, and the White House is openly entertaining the idea of using the military to take control of Greenland, a territory belonging to a long-standing ally. This is therefore no surprise that after a record-setting rally that pushed America's main stock indices close to psychologically pleasing milestones - the S&P 500 edging toward 7,000 and the Dow flirting with 50,000 - momentum has begun to wobble. Not collapse. Just wobble.

Records Keep Tumbling on the Stock Market

With three sessions of gains out of three possible in 2026, Western stock indices continue to chart uncharted territory. In the United States, the venerable Dow Jones is now within a whisker of the 50,000 mark, having doubled in value over the past six years. The noise of geopolitical tensions is doing little to unsettle the market, even as oil volatility increases in the wake of the American operation in Venezuela.

Trump Dreams Meet Market Reality

Markets briefly cheered a dramatic arrest, then remembered that oil wells do not refill themselves and wars rarely come with balance-sheet clarity. Energy and defence stocks enjoyed their moment in the sun, while everyone else squinted at commodities, jobs data and central banks for something solid to hold on to. The result is a market caught between bravado and bookkeeping, with enthusiasm running ahead of reality - again.

U.S. ambitions go down smoothly

The second trading session of 2026 ended firmly in the green for major stock markets, showing little concern over the United States' operations in Venezuela. Oil and defence companies even benefited from the move, while investors began to redirect their tech bets towards regions less richly valued than North America.

Venezuela Falls, Markets Yawn

Washington staged a regime change : markets checked their screens and went back to work. Venezuela's vast oil riches may one day matter again, but for now traders are treating tanks and headlines as background noise. In a world of rate cuts, data drops and earnings season, geopolitics still has to compete for attention, and it is not always winning.

Washington breaks the Christmas truce with a bang

Financial markets are ushering in 2026 with a major geopolitical development, engineered by the United States in Venezuela. A flurry of key events is expected in the first half of January, notably concerning US macroeconomic data, the appointment of the next Federal Reserve chair, and the constitutionality of Donald Trump's tariffs. Equity markets, meanwhile, seem keen to resume riding the AI frenzy, before the last crumbs of the Epiphany cake are gone.

Nothing to See, Cut Rates

The latest U.S. consumer-price data came in softer than expected. That set off excitement, hope and spreadsheets full of rate-cut fantasies. Markets now put roughly a one-in-four chance on a Federal Reserve cut in January and are almost certain about one by April. Yet the same report came with missing data thanks to a government shutdown and some methodological quirks. Even the banks cheering the number admit it deserves a raised eyebrow.

Lost in Inflation

The unexpected slowdown in US inflation in November allowed American stock indices to rebound yesterday. Yet the data is questionable, due to the disruption in federal administration earlier this autumn which hindered proper data collection. Despite this, bets on rate cuts intensified following the release, as investors remain irrepressibly optimistic: even as they love to split hairs over economic statistics. The final trading session of the week is also the monthly and quarterly options expiry. Barring any exceptional events, 2025 should now be largely uneventful.

Inflation Took a Chill Pill

The long awaited CPI data delivered a good surprise for investors. Inflation did what they have been begging it to do: it behaved. Prices rose in November, but gently. Headline inflation came in at 2.7% and core inflation at 2.6%. Both were well below expectations (3.1% and 3.0%) Jobless claims, meanwhile, landed exactly where they were supposed to. Nothing overheated.
