Market Impact Analysis

  • Trade balance improvement adds support to the USD and risk appetite.
  • Treasury auction results are key for near-term yield expectations.
  • BoJ auction and Asia PMIs set early session tone for regional FX and equity markets.

  • Oil inventory data could inject volatility into commodities and inflation-linked sentiment.

Overall Impact Score: 8/10

  • Treasury auction demand—weakness could lift yields and affect sentiment.
  • China PMI moderation—if it dips below 50, may weigh on Asia risk sentiment.
  • Oil inventory build—if confirmed, could pull oil prices down, pressuring inflation-sensitive assets.
