Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 27th September 2026. Equity markets managed a positive week, though the gains masked a bond market that continued to deteriorate at an alarming pace.  The bond market is another matter entirely.  The dollar has been a direct beneficiary of the Fed's tightening, rising 0.6% against a basket of major currencies on the week and 2.3% above its recent September low.  On the geopolitical front, there was genuine relief.  The week ahead brings the US September jobs report on Friday, the single most important data point the Fed will receive before October's meeting.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 20th September 2026. Global equity markets ended the week mixed in what will be remembered as one of the most consequential weeks for monetary policy in several years.  The week's dominant event was Wednesday's FOMC decision.  The early part of the week was dominated by an unexpected development in the AI space.  The 10-year US Treasury yield briefly touched 5.04% intraday — its highest level since 2007 — early in the week as fresh Saudi infrastructure attacks and record diesel prices amplified inflation anxiety, before retreating to 4.94% on Thursday as reports emerged that pipeline damage may be less severe than initially feared.  In Europe, the STOXX 600 fell 0.57% and in a notable market milestone, L'Oréal overtook LVMH to become France's most valuable listed company for the first time since 2017.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 31st May 2026.  Global equity markets closed out May on a high note, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossing 51,000 for the first time and the S&P 500 posting a ninth consecutive weekly gain — its longest winning run in several years.  The dominant driver was a tentative but meaningful breakthrough in the Middle East: reports emerged that the US and Iran had agreed in principle to a 60-day ceasefire extension and a memorandum of understanding to commence formal nuclear negotiations, contingent on a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.  The other defining story of the week was AI-driven earnings momentum, which continued to broaden beyond the largest technology platforms.  The macro backdrop, however, offered a more complicated picture.  In Europe, markets were broadly flat, with the STOXX 600 advancing just 0.14% as investors remained focused on Strait of Hormuz developments.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 24th May 2026.  Global equity markets continued to advance in the week ending 24 May, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a fresh all-time high and the S&P 500 posting its eighth consecutive weekly gain — its longest winning streak since 2023.  The advance came despite a volatile early start to the week as Treasury yields climbed sharply on the back of hawkish Fed minutes and persistent inflation data.  The macro backdrop, however, remains distinctly challenging.  In Europe, markets rallied strongly on de-escalation hopes, with the STOXX 600 gaining 3.0%, Germany's DAX rising 3.92%, and the UK's FTSE 100 climbing 2.66%.  Japan's Nikkei 225 also rebounded strongly, gaining 3.14%, led by technology and AI-related stocks as oil price stabilisation lifted sentiment across energy-import-dependent Asian markets.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 17th May 2026.   This week delivered a sharp reminder that the path back to market normality remains uneven.   The week opened on a constructive note, with the S&P 500 hitting a new all-time high on Monday as technology stocks advanced, even as the White House confirmed it had rejected Iran’s latest diplomatic proposal over the weekend.   The macro picture continues to diverge sharply by geography.   In Japan, the Nikkei declined modestly as semiconductor stocks gave back some recent gains, while the 10-year Japanese government bond yield rose to 2.72% — its highest level since 1997 — reflecting growing conviction that the Bank of Japan is approaching its next rate hike.   That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 10th May 2026.  Global equity markets extended their winning run to a sixth consecutive week, with the rally that began in late March continuing to broaden and deepen despite a heavy and at times contradictory news flow spanning geopolitics, central bank policy, and corporate earnings.  Earnings season was once again the primary engine of positive sentiment.  On the macroeconomic front, the picture was genuinely mixed.  In Europe, sentiment improved early in the week on easing geopolitical tensions, before being tempered by US President Trump's threat to impose substantially higher tariffs on European goods unless the EU moved its own tariffs on US imports to zero.  Japan's Nikkei 225 surged 5.38% in a shortened trading week following the Golden Week holiday, reaching a record high driven by technology and semiconductor stocks.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 19th April 2026.  The week ending 19 April delivered a third consecutive week of gains for global equity markets, with several major indices reaching record highs as the geopolitical backdrop continued to improve — albeit against a backdrop of ongoing uncertainty over the durability of any resolution to the Middle East conflict. The week's defining moment came on Friday, when Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz completely open to commercial vessels following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.  US equities led the advance.  European markets joined the rally, with Germany's DAX gaining 3.77% and France's CAC 40 adding 2.0%.  In Japan, the Nikkei 225 gained 2.73% and touched a new all-time high.  On the macro data front, US producer prices rose at a slower-than-expected pace in March, with core PPI particularly subdued.  The VIX closed below 20, approaching pre-conflict levels.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 12th April 2026.  The week ending 12 April was defined by a single watershed moment: the announcement late on Tuesday of a conditional two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, which unleashed the most powerful single-session risk rally seen in approximately a year.  The S&P 500 surged 2.5% on Wednesday — its best one-day performance in around twelve months — while the Dow climbed 2.9%, the Russell 2000 gained 3.0%, and international equities rallied 3.5%.  The ceasefire's terms — contingent on Iran agreeing to a complete, immediate, and safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — had an immediate and dramatic effect on energy markets.  Fixed income markets offered a more measured verdict.  Credit markets told a more constructive story.  Currency markets underwent a notable reversal.  Despite the relief rally, the mood by Friday remained cautious.  Looking ahead, attention turns to first-quarter earnings season, with major US banks reporting imminently.   That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 15th February 2026.  Global equity markets were notably volatile over the week, as investors grappled with divergent signals from corporate earnings, macroeconomic data and broader risk sentiment.  In the United States, equities finished the week lower, with major indices under pressure as concerns over the disruptive potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and valuation risk weighed on technology and growth stocks.  Strong US labour market data surprised investors over the week.  With over 75% of companies now having reported Q4 earnings, a significant majority of S&P 500 companies have beaten expectations, with approximately 79% of firms surpassing consensus forecasts and an average earnings surprise of 8.2%.  Outside the US, performance was more resilient.  Fixed income markets reflected investor caution.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 8th February 2026.  Global equity markets were mixed over the week, with US equities declining while international markets were more resilient, as investors reassessed expectations for monetary policy and digested a steady flow of economic and corporate news. In the United States, equity markets moved lower as concerns emerged around valuation levels, particularly within large-cap technology stocks that have driven much of the market’s gains over the past year. The week brought a large dose of US labour market data, with the majority surprising to the downside.  Outside the US, equity performance was comparatively stronger.  Curency markets were impacted by two key interest rate decision across Europe for the week.  Asian markets delivered mixed results. The recent trend of heightened precious metals price volatility continued, with gold rebounding from the previous week’s decline and silver retreating.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 25th January 2026.  Global equity markets were mixed over the past week, trading cautiously as investors absorbed geopolitical noise, economic data revisions and ongoing rotation in leadership amid mixed earnings signals.  In the United States, major stock indexes finished the week generally lower, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average posting slight declines and the Nasdaq Composite modestly underperforming.  Economic data continued to offer a nuanced picture of the US economy.  Within markets, leadership continued to rotate.  Internationally, performance diverged.  Fixed-income markets hinted at a cautiously constructive backdrop.  Looking ahead, investors will be watching a fresh slate of macroeconomic data—especially updated jobs figures and inflation prints—as well as central bank rate announcement from the Fed with commentary that could clarify the outlook for monetary policy.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 11th January 2026.  Global equity markets climbed modestly over the week as investors responded to a mix of economic data, central bank signals and earnings momentum, setting a cautiously optimistic tone for markets early in 2026. In the United States, equities got off to a strong start in the first full trading week of the year, with major indexes reaching fresh highs as sentiment improved around policy direction and economic stability.  Economic data painted a nuanced picture of the US macro backdrop.  Fixed-income markets responded to these signals with modest gains in Treasuries early in the week as traders weighed the potential for future rate cuts.  Across the Atlantic, European equity markets also fared well, with the STOXX Europe 600 index advancing on optimism that economic momentum is stabilising, supported in part by encouraging industrial production and consumer spending data.  Commodities performed positively, with energy prices rising as geopolitical developments and supply considerations kept broader markets engaged.  Looking ahead, market participants will focus on a fresh slate of economic releases, including consumer price data and jobless figures, alongside corporate earnings updates that will help clarify the pace of global growth and inflation.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 14th December 2025.  Global equity markets traded with a blend of optimism and caution over the past week as investors digested central bank policy, corporate earnings signals and shifting sentiment around the US economic outlook.  The Federal Reserve delivered its third consecutive interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.50%–3.75%, in line with market expectations and reflective of heightened downside risks to the labour market.  Equity performance during the week reflected this nuanced backdrop.  European equities posted a third consecutive weekly gain as optimism around Fed easing bolstered risk sentiment. Fixed-income markets exhibited a mixed picture.  Looking ahead, markets turn their attention to forthcoming macro releases—including delayed US labour data—and central bank guidance on timing and scale of future policy moves.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 7th December 2025.  Global equity markets edged higher over the week as investors interpreted softer US inflation and weakening labour market data as strengthening the case for an imminent Federal Reserve rate cut.  The Bureau of Economic Analysis released the long-delayed September personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation data on Friday after disruptions caused by the US government shutdown.  Further evidence of labour market cooling emerged from the private sector.  Across Europe, inflationary trends remained broadly contained.  Asset markets responded in familiar fashion to the accumulating evidence of slower growth and softer price pressures.  Bond markets, however, moved in the opposite direction.  Elsewhere, OPEC and its allies signalled caution on the global growth outlook by committing to hold output steady through the first quarter of 2026.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 16th November 2025.  Global equity markets endured a volatile week, with US stocks underperforming their international peers amid shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy and renewed scrutiny of valuations in artificial intelligence (AI)-related shares. The week began on a cautiously optimistic note following the resolution of the longest US government shutdown on record.  Bond markets reflected the growing uncertainty around the near-term policy path.  In the UK, disappointing economic data added pressure on the Bank of England to act.  Equity performance reflected the divergence between US and international markets.  Cryptocurrency markets extended their recent decline.  That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.
