Fed Silence Shifts Investor Focus to Earnings Amid Rate, Inflation Concerns

Investors are weighing ongoing concerns about interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical risks against a robust earnings season, especially in AI-related sectors, as the US Federal Reserve remains silent on its next policy steps. The focus shifts to corporate results and the upcoming Jackson Hole symposium for clarity on inflation and growth, with falling Treasury yields and oil prices recently boosting risk appetite. However, elevated energy prices and US-Iran tensions could reaccelerate inflation, impacting bond yields. This global uncertainty could lead to continued volatility in international gold prices and potentially influence USD/PKR stability, depending on safe-haven flows and global risk sentiment in Pakistan.
