Brent crude has fallen back to just below $99 today,\u00a0extending its decline to a sixth consecutive session as improving Saudi supply flows and US-Iran diplomacy hopes reduce some of the geopolitical premium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">That is easing concerns over  inflation and taking some pressure off bond markets as well. 10-year Treasury yields continue to sit just under 5% at around 4.95% today. Meanwhile, 10-year bond yields in Germany are also settling down at around 3.44% since peaking last week at 3.57%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">That combination is proving to be supportive for European equities, particularly after oil had been one of the biggest macro headwinds for stocks earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">The other focus today is the preliminary September PMI data from France, Germany and the overall Eurozone, which <a href=\"https:\/\/investinglive.com\/news\/euro-area-pmis-put-inflation-pressures-and-the-ecb-rate-path-in-focus\/\" rel=\"follow\">should offer a fresh read on both economic momentum and inflation pressures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">Besides that,\u00a0US futures are providing a steadier helping hand rather than driving the move outright.\u00a0S&amp;P 500 futures are up roughly 0.1%, while Nasdaq futures are broadly flat after the Nasdaq Composite index itself posted another record close on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">Overall, it&#8217;s a moderate risk-on mood at the open today. However, there is still some nerves with the bond market continuing to sit on the edge despite falling oil prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European equities are opening higher across the board: Eurostoxx +0.5% Germany DAX +0.3% France CAC 40 +0.5% UK FTSE +0.4% Spain IBEX +0.3% Italy FTSE MIB +0.5% The main backdrop helping with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-438624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438624\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
