Market Wrap International:

 

Global markets ended last week with a mix of gains ‎and caution. In the U.S., softer July inflation ‎strengthened expectations for a September Fed rate ‎cut, driving the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to fresh records ‎before a modest late-week pullback. In Europe, the ‎FTSE 100 set new highs, supported by global risk ‎appetite, while Germany’s CPI confirmed further ‎easing in price pressures. In Asia, Japan’s Q2 GDP ‎showed modest growth, and sentiment stayed ‎measured ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska. ‎Commodities saw renewed safe-haven demand for ‎gold, while oil prices eased on weaker demand signals ‎and geopolitical uncertainty.‎
