Understanding Global Markets

Why Track International Markets?

  • Global markets often lead or follow US markets due to time zone differences
  • European and Asian markets react to US news overnight
  • International indices can signal risk-on or risk-off sentiment
  • Currency movements affect multinational company earnings
  • Provides diversification insights for global investors

Currency Impact on Markets

  • Strong USD: Headwind for US exporters, tailwind for importers
  • Weak USD: Boosts S&P 500 earnings from overseas
  • DXY rising: Often coincides with risk-off sentiment
  • Carry trades: Low-yield currencies fund high-yield investments
  • Central bank policy: Rate differentials drive currency flows
