[Pallas_Boreas]

Next week, the focus will remain on the US-Iran standoff and any efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to the conflict in the Middle East. The bond market will also remain in the spotlight following the recent surge in government bond yields. In the US, the FOMC minutes, ISM Services PMI, and preliminary University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment data will be closely watched for further clues on the economic outlook and the Fed's policy path. Elsewhere, key releases will include German factory orders and trade data, Eurozone PPI, Japan's consumer confidence and machine tool orders, Australia's consumer confidence, and Canada's employment and trade figures. Inflation data from Mexico and Brazil will also be closely monitored. In addition, the Reserve Bank of India will announce its monetary policy decision. The OPEC meeting and developments surrounding Brazil's presidential election will also remain key events for global markets.
