1) Global Stock Markets<\/h4>\n

Major indices retreated: the Dow<\/strong> fell ~1% (~279 pts), S&P\u202f500<\/strong> dropped 0.3% (~21 pts) to 6,259.8, and the Nasdaq<\/strong>slipped ~0.1% to 20,585.5. The Russell 2000<\/strong> led losses for the week with a 1.3% decline . Still, YTD, these benchmarks remain ahead: +6.4% (S&P), +6.6% (Nasdaq), +4.3% (Dow) .<\/p>\n

Europe<\/strong>
\nDespite a weaker closing on Friday, pressured by weak UK GDP and a potential tariff letter from Trump, \u00a0European equities were up 1.8% for the week with the EURO Stoxx 50 closing at 5383.48.<\/p>\n

China<\/strong>
\nReactions were muted: the Shanghai Composite<\/strong> showed modest weekly gains (+1.1%), as markets digested mixed GDP\/retail data and anticipated further stimulus .<\/p>\n

\n

2) Government Bonds \u2013 Week Ending July\u202f11,\u202f2025<\/h4>\n

US treasury yields climbed, especially on long-dated paper: 10\u2011yr yields breaching 4.4%. European sovereign bonds (e.g., German Bunds) sold off in tandem too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

3) Key Market-Moving Events<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. U.S. Tariff Escalation<\/strong>: President Trump announced a 35% tariff on Canadian imports (effective Aug\u202f1), potential 15\u201320% “universal” tariffs, plus threat of 50% on copper and duties on pharma.\n
      \n
    • Impact<\/strong>: Stocks and bonds slipped in tandem amid trade jitters; small-caps led losses; DAX, CAC, FTSE pulled back; some safe\u2011haven commodities (gold, bitcoin) rallied.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Chinese Data & Stimulus Hopes<\/strong>: Slower-than-expected retail sales and steady GDP prompted expectations of further fiscal or monetary easing .<\/li>\n
    • Corporate Earnings & Tech Surge<\/strong>: Tech giants like Nvidia surged (now ~$4\u202ftrillion market cap), keeping indices afloat despite broader weakness; earnings front-loaded next week (e.g., JPMorgan) .<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      4) Focus: Market Complacency & Sentiment<\/h4>\n

      VIX: Remains subdued: trading in the 15\u201318 range<\/strong>, under its historical norm, but higher than the lows reached in 2024.<\/p>\n
