Market Sentiment
Wednesday’s markets face a tug-of-war between stronger AI earnings and rising borrowing costs. CoreWeave’s results lifted technology futures after Tuesday’s hotter U.S. inflation report drove Treasury yields sharply higher. The dollar remains supported as traders price a December Federal Reserve increase and consider a larger move. Oil is recovering from two-month lows amid continued attacks on shipping near the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. cash bonds are closed for Veterans Day, while stocks remain open, reducing one source of price discovery. The central question is whether earnings optimism can withstand the higher rate outlook.
Previous Session Recap
Tuesday’s S&P 500 fell 0.38%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.74%, and the Dow declined 0.30%. U.S. headline CPI rose 0.4% in October and core CPI increased 0.3%, both above forecasts. Two-year Treasury yields jumped about 18 basis points. Brent settled at $91.49 and WTI at $86.04.
Top Overnight Global Forex Headlines
- CoreWeave raised its annual revenue outlook after quarterly sales reached $3.66 billion, supporting AI sentiment.
- Germany confirmed October harmonized inflation at 2.8%, down from September’s 3.3%.

- Asian chip indexes extended their rebound, while Hong Kong lagged. Australia’s ASX 200 closed 0.3% higher.
Forex Focus of the Day
EUR/USD remains vulnerable to the repricing of U.S. rates. A break below 1.1150 would reinforce dollar strength, while recovery through 1.1200 would ease pressure. Today’s ECB appearances could test whether European policy expectations offset the U.S. yield advantage.

Trader’s Takeaway
The dominant risk is that higher expected interest rates overwhelm earnings optimism. Watch Lagarde’s remarks and the U.S. equity opening at 14:30 GMT. Nasdaq-100 cash above 28,000 would strengthen the rebound, while EUR/USD below 1.1150 would confirm renewed dollar pressure.
