Investor attention last week centred on a trio of headline economic developments: US inflation data, UK GDP figures, and the extension of a US-China tariff pause. In the United States, markets closely monitored the July Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, anticipating a potential tariff-driven rise in inflation. Across the Atlantic, the UK economy demonstrated surprising resilience in June, expanding 0.4% following a 0.1% contraction in May. Meanwhile, trade developments provided a degree of relief to global markets. Equity markets responded positively across the board. US shares rose approximately 1%, with rate-sensitive small-cap and value stocks leading the advance. That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.

Sep 200:03:51Tap to summarizeWelcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 10th August 2025. The US technology stock index surged to fresh record highs this week, driven by investor reaction to key developments, including interest rate announcements from the Bank of England, the expiration of the US tariff pause, and strong corporate earnings from some of the US' largest companies.On Thursday, the Bank of England (BoE) opted to cut UK interest rates by a quarter point, marking its fifth reduction in just 12 months. Across the Atlantic, the expiry of the US tariff pause on August 7 saw tariffs on most US trading partners rise from the previous 10% baseline established in April. Earnings season is winding down, with the so-called 'Magnificent 7' – seven mega-cap stocks – continuing to drive a disproportionately large share of overall second-quarter earnings growth. Over the week US equities rose by 2.4%, with the technology sector leading the charge, gaining 3.9% on the back of robust corporate earnings. Meanwhile, OPEC and its allies agreed to a further output increase of 547,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 0.5% of global crude supply.

Jun 23, 202500:03:07Tap to summarizeWelcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 22nd June 2025. Equity markets drifted lower last week as a series of high-profile central bank decisions was largely overshadowed by escalating conflict in the Middle East. The US Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%–4.5% for a fourth consecutive meeting, in line with expectations. Across the Atlantic, the Bank of England followed suit, maintaining its Bank Rate at 4.25%. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan left its key rate at 0.5% and announced it would begin to slow the pace of government bond purchases from April 2026. US equity markets ended the week slightly negative by around 0.2% as investors digested the Federal Reserves rate decision and commentary suggesting that rate cuts may not be as forth coming as previously thought. As conflict in the Middle East continued to escalate during the week, fixed income assets provided investors with a safe haven, US 10-year treasury yields remaining stable at around 4.38%.
