Majority of global equities rose sharply at the beginning of the week, buoyed by some dip-buying strategies while European investors digested hawkish comments from the ECB president Lagarde which said the Central Bank was likely to lift its deposit rate out of the negative territory by September. Still, any rally should be short-lived, with markets still rattled by lingering worries about tighter monetary policy taming runaway inflation and signs of slowing global growth. This week traders will focus on quarterly results from Zoom Video, Costco, Nvidia, Dollar General, Nordstrom and Macy’s. A speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell scheduled for tomorrow is also highly anticipated, as well as the FOMC minutes which will be released on Wednesday.
