Global Markets:

The US Dow Jones Index futures are currently up by 214 points, indicating a positive opening for US stocks today.

European shares traded higher on Tuesday, bouncing back from recent multi-week lows as Washington's hyped economic D-Day against Tehran failed to materialize into immediate supply shocks, providing relief to risk assets.

Asian markets ended higher, tracking a mixed close on Wall Street as investors turned cautious ahead of a data-heavy week featuring Nvidia's earnings, US inflation data and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole speech.

Wall Street ended mixed on Monday, with technology and semiconductor stocks under pressure as investors assessed fresh US economic measures against Iran. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.26%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.28% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.76%. Nvidia dropped 2.9%, while Micron Technology and Broadcom also fell, weighing on the technology-heavy indexes.

Investor focus also remained on Washington's escalating pressure on Tehran. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent outlined a tougher sanctions campaign against Iran, warning of further measures against countries and entities that continue to facilitate trade with Tehran and describing the next phase as an economic D-Day. The latest measures are aimed at intensifying pressure on Iran's remaining economic channels, while markets are also monitoring the potential impact on oil supplies and the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil prices extended their decline on Tuesday after falling sharply in the previous session, offering some relief to bond markets. Brent crude had settled at around $92.17 a barrel on Monday, down 2.4%, as investors assessed the impact of the latest US sanctions and their potential implications for the US-Iran conflict.

US Treasury yields also eased, with the 10-year yield around 4.70% after ending the previous session near that level. The decline came after oil prices fell and investors continued to assess the outlook for inflation, government borrowing and Federal Reserve policy.

The immediate focus is likely to remain on Nvidia, which is scheduled to report its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results after the US market close on Wednesday, 26 August.

Investors will also track the US July Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, due on Wednesday. The data could influence expectations for the Fed's upcoming policy decisions.

Meanwhile, the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium is scheduled for 27-29 August, with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh set to deliver his first major speech at the event on Friday, 28 August. His remarks will be closely watched for clues on the outlook for interest rates amid persistent inflation concerns and elevated Treasury yields.
