Take Five: High stakes, low bars
The upcoming week promises high-stakes events in global financial markets, with two significant summits and various market data releases. President Xi Jinping will be in Washington for a three-day state visit, meeting US President Donald Trump, a first since their meeting in Beijing in May. This summit comes amidst a backdrop of tense relations and the Iran war.
The week will also see US allies in Asia wary of Trump potentially softening his stance on Taiwan for an economic gain ahead of US midterms, and the ongoing AI arms race and US military buildup in space being discussed. The week will also feature PMI data from the global bond markets, the 10-year US Treasury yield nearing a crucial 5% level, and the Federal Reserve's first interest rate hike in over three years.
At the same time, the UN General Assembly's High-Level Week begins with a focus on restoring trust and managing transformation in a fractured world order.
