Market sentiment appears to be shifting as investors digest the news of a partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. While this development offers a glimmer of hope for de-escalation, traders remain cautious, closely monitoring US-Iran diplomatic discussions alongside persistent anxieties regarding inflation and potential interest rate adjustments. Looking ahead, market participants are keeping a close watch on upcoming US non-farm payroll data and employment reports. These economic indicators are expected to provide critical insights into the strength of the labor market against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
