Global Financial Headlines
The dollar reached a 3-week high against the Euro following the ADP National Employment Report, which showed US private payrolls increased more than expected in September. This comes ahead of Friday's highly anticipated jobs data. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ edged higher but remained near two-week lows as investors monitored potential escalations in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. A recent survey has alleviated concerns about a rapid cooldown in the US labour market. Markets remain cautious as Israel and the US vowed to retaliate after Iran's attack on Israel. The attack has renewed interest in safe-haven assets, and oil prices have surged. However, with uncertainty surrounding the evolving situation in the Middle East, investors are proceeding cautiously, questioning whether Iran's strike marks an escalation or is more of a one-off response to Israel.
