Geopolitics meet monetary policy this week

Global markets are starting the week cautiously due to geopolitical tensions, including the toppling of Syria's leader and the ongoing unrest in South Korea. Despite this, European markets performed well last week, with the CAC 40 and DAX rising. US jobs data was mixed and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 reached fresh highs. China's inflation slowed, and investors await tangible policies from the government's economic meeting. This week, major central banks, from Australia, Canada, Brazil, the eurozone, and Switzerland, will decide on interest rates. Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis, notes that despite the strong (US) equity market gains this year inflows into equities are far from euphoric levels.
