Global equity markets edged higher on Wednesday amid a surprise decline in U.S. inflation data and a continued string of positive corporate earnings reports, despite ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The MSCI Global Equities Index climbed as investors responded to weaker-than-expected producer price figures, signaling potential easing of inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, oil prices fluctuated under the weight of geopolitical uncertainty, with U.S. and Iranian forces continuing their military exchanges in the region. The U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Producer Price Index for final demand fell 0.3 percent in June, below economists' expectations of no change. This followed earlier data showing a slowdown in consumer price growth, reinforcing the view that inflation may be cooling. The data came as a relief to financial markets, which had been bracing for further tightening by central banks. Investors appeared to be discounting the risks posed by escalating hostilities between the United States and Iran, focusing instead on the possibility of prolonged low inflation and accommodative monetary policy. On the corporate front, several major firms reported better-than-expected earnings. Morgan Stanley saw a rise in second-quarter profits driven by robust merger and acquisition activity, while BlackRock benefited from a broader stock market rally that increased the value of its clients’ assets. In the healthcare sector, Johnson & Johnson exceeded analysts’ estimates with both revenue and profit. These results bolstered investor confidence, contributing to a broad-based rise in global stock indices. By midday in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had risen 172.89 points, or 0.33 percent, to 52,681.16, while the S&P 500 added 12.74 points, or 0.17 percent, to 7,556.33. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 86.70 points, or 0.33 percent, to 26,193.95. European markets also posted gains, with the MSCI World Price Index rising 5.20 points, or 0.46 percent, to 1,126.77, and the STOXX 600 index gaining 0.12 percent. Asian markets had earlier shown strength, with South Korea’s KOSPI index surging over 6 percent, though U.S.-listed shares of local companies lagged behind. In the fixed income market, U.S. Treasury yields declined following the inflation data. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield fell 3.57 basis points to 4.549 percent, marking its first two-day decline in nearly three weeks. The 30-year bond yield dipped 1.98 basis points to 5.0742 percent, while the 2-year note yield, a key indicator of Fed rate expectations, fell 4.37 basis points to 4.149 percent. The weakening dollar reflected growing optimism about the pace of rate hikes, with the dollar index declining 0.16 percent to 100.72. Despite the positive economic indicators, the Middle East remained volatile. The U.S. launched fresh attacks targeting Iran’s coastal defense systems and missile infrastructure, following the reimposition of a naval blockade around Iranian ports. Iran, in turn, warned of further disruptions to regional energy exports, adding to fears of a prolonged standoff. Analysts noted that while diplomatic channels remained open, the likelihood of a resolution seemed increasingly remote. In Latin America, international analyst Claudio Fantini highlighted the deepening conflict between the U.S. and Iran, emphasizing how it has reignited concerns about global economic stability and energy security. He pointed to intensified attacks on U.S. allies such as Qatar and Jordan, as well as renewed pressure on critical maritime routes like the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. The situation, he argued, could lead to a severe energy crisis reminiscent of past global shocks. With oil prices oscillating due to conflicting signals from the market and the geopolitical landscape, U.S. crude fell 0.98 percent to $78.56 a barrel, while Brent crude dropped 1.1 percent to $83.80. Gold prices also dipped slightly, reflecting reduced safe-haven demand as risk appetite improved. As the week progresses, the interplay between economic data and regional tensions will likely continue to shape market movements.

Analitičari su primjetili da su cijene neznatno smanjene od vrhunaca sredinom tjedna, ali da je rizik od produženog prekida i dalje visok.
