The optimism is also supported by the relatively better performance of the PMIs compared to Europe. The data showed a continued growth in both services and manufacturing sectors in the U.S., though momentum slowed more than expected. Falling exports weighed on output, partially offset by inventory stockpiling due to tariff concerns. Tariffs also drove sharp price increases, especially in manufacturing. Domestic demand remained strong, supporting job creation and rising backlogs.

US100 (H1 timeframe)
Following a direct U.S. strike on Iran, the US100 index futures opened after the weekend with a significant gap down of around 200 points. However, the Nasdaq quickly recovered, closing the gap and surpassing the 21,845 level during the start of the European session. At the New York Stock Exchange open, the index plunged 100 points but just as quickly rebounded. The index broke above the 25-period exponential moving average (EMA), confirming its strength despite the geopolitical turbulence.

Fiserv (FISV.US) is up 3% after announcing plans to launch a stablecoin platform integrated with Solana and partnered with Circle and Paxos.
