On banks, gold and the USD

US stocks opened higher yesterday, but then reversed course. Small caps underperformed, and market volatility rose amid credit concerns at regional banks. In Europe, Swiss and French equity markets outperformed, supported by positive corporate news and France temporarily avoiding a political crisis. Gold extended its record-breaking rally. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury fell below a key threshold, reflecting weak economic data and dovish comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller. Mathieu Racheter, Head of Equity Strategy, shares his insights on bank earnings and talks about US vs European banks. Tim Gagie, Head of FX & PM Solutions in Geneva, discusses key considerations amid the rally in precious metals and the recent pullback in the US dollar.(00:00) - Introduction: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content (00:34) - Markets wrap-up: Mike Rauber, Product & Investment Content (06:42) - Earnings season: Mathieu Racheter, Head of Equity Strategy Research (09:25) - Currencies and metals: Tim Gagie, Head of FX/PM PB Geneva (13:46) - Closing remarks: Lucija Caculovic, Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?
