U.S. Indexes closed mixed on Monday, with the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 the only major Index to finish marginally higher. Technology and Communication Services were the only sectors to outperform, alongside Energy, with the former supported ahead of Alphabet’s earnings on Wednesday after reports the company is developing a new server chip. Health Care and Materials lagged. There was little in the way of macro catalysts, with no US economic data and Fed officials in their blackout period ahead of next week’s FOMC meeting. The crude complex was volatile but ultimately settled higher following another barrage of geopolitical headlines. Overnight, the US and Iran exchanged strikes for a tenth consecutive night, while reports throughout the session suggested the conflict is more likely to escalate than de-escalate, despite officials indicating diplomatic channels remain open and talks continue. Treasury yields rose across the curve as higher oil prices and the escalating geopolitical backdrop lifted inflation concerns. Reports that Iran threatened the Bab el-Mandeb shipping route added to the risk premium, weighing on Treasuries. In FX, the Dollar was mixed against its peers. The Australian Dollar outperformed, supported by broad strength in Chinese assets, while Sterling and the Canadian Dollar were little changed despite UK political developments and softer-than-expected Canadian inflation data, respectively. The UK confirmed Andy Burnham as its new Prime Minister, although the appointment of Healey as Chancellor came as more of a surprise. Precious metals were mixed, with spot gold edging slightly lower while silver outperformed while oil ended Monday’s session with a 0.5% gain.
