A Pivotal Week for Global Markets

BREAKING: GLOBAL MARKETS JUST ENTERED THE MOST IMPORTANT WEEK OF 2025.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ chart needs to hold above trend at $684-685 or next level of support is at $680 (then lower). But, if it holds then $688 and $690+ (check chart to study it)

SPY futures ticked 0.1% higher, sitting just shy of an all-time high.

$Netflix(NFLX)$ jumped 1.5% pre-market after new antitrust concerns surfaced around its Warner Bros. acquisition.

Several Fed officials hinted at a rate cut on Wednesday.

But under the optimism lies a deeper uncertainty whether the rate path stays friendly in 2026, and whether the AI-driven surge is truly sustainable.

Bond markets sold off after ECB’s Schnabel declared that European rates have finally “hit the floor.”

US Treasuries followed, with the 10-year rising to 4.15%. This needs to drop quickly under 4% then 3.80% for a bullish move.

Then came the signal that matters:

Interviews with 39 global fund managers showed the majority are preparing for a risk-on year driven by strong growth, accelerating AI adoption, accommodative policy, and fiscal firepower.

This isn’t random volatility.

Wednesday decides the direction.
