Key arguments
- Equities and bonds decoupled, with megacap tech acting as a refuge while long-end Treasury yields hit levels last seen in 2002.
- Saudi Arabia's price cuts to six-year lows for Asian sales and rising Middle East oil exports pressured crude.
- US ISM services prices index at 74, the highest since July 2022, signals persistent inflation pressure even as headline activity cools.
- Singapore retail sales momentum stays intact in discretionary segments despite a soft 0.7% YoY headline, with 4Q26 growth tipped at 1.1% YoY.
