Bonds, oil & earnings battle for market sentiment | MarketTalk
About this video
European debt concerns, rising energy prices and fragile AI confidence test investors’ nerves. French unrest adds to fiscal and political uncertainty, while attractive Japanese bond yields raise questions about capital returning home and the consequences for global borrowing costs.

Anthropic’s strong revenue growth offers encouragement, yet the AI spending boom still needs fresh money from paying customers to sustain it. Meanwhile, escalating Middle East tensions keep oil elevated, with Russian diesel supplies offering only limited potential relief. Attention turns to earnings, where strong headline growth expectations could help equities weather the storm. But technology and energy flatter the numbers. Can profits keep the bad news in the background, or is the market running short of fuel for its next move?
