Morning Juice – Europe Session Prep

Europe session traders are stepping into a market driven by inflation concerns, rising bond yields, and fresh geopolitical tension.

Market Sentiment Turning Defensive

Australia’s unemployment rate unexpectedly increased in April, adding to concerns that higher interest rates are starting to slow economic activity.

At the same time, Middle East tensions remain active after renewed escalation threats between the US and Iran.
