Market momentum stalls as shutdown fears rise

US equity indices rose modestly yesterday following relatively subdued inflation data. However, the rebound, that was driven primarily by the performance of the Magnificent Seven, was short-lived, while European markets continued to outpace their US counterparts. As the possibility of a US government shutdown this Saturday looms, investor sentiment remains cautious. Also on the show today is our Group Chief Investment Officer, Yves Bonzon, who offers valuable insights into the current market landscape. Additionally, Norbert Rücker, Head of Economics and Next Generation Research, provides an update on the shifting dynamics in the oil market.
