Moving Markets

US Markets closed slightly lower on Thursday after hyperscaler earnings raised concerns about increasing AI spending, but Apple and Amazon results after the close provided a boost to futures. The mood was further elevated by an agreement between China and the US that seemingly delays the trade war by a year. To date, October 2025 is bucking the historical trend, with the big three US indices all in positive territory. Our Chief Economist, David Kohl, assesses this week’s central bank action and what to expect policy-wise going forwards. And Tim Gagie, Head of FX Advisory Geneva, provides a round up of what he is seeing with the Japanese yen, the US dollar and the euro, as well as the latest on silver and gold.
