A structured view of global capital markets:

• Government Bonds: The yield (interest rate) on a bond reflects what investors expect in terms of inflation, economic growth, and central bank policy. Rising yields often signal reduced investor confidence or expected rate hikes; falling yields may indicate increased demand for safer assets.
• Stock Indices: A stock index (like the FTSE 100 or S&P 500) represents the average performance of a country’s largest publicly traded companies. It gives a sense of overall market confidence. Rising indices suggest positive outlooks from investors; falling indices may reflect concerns about the economy, company profits, or geopolitical risks.
• Commodities: These include raw materials such as oil, gas, wheat, and gold. They are essential for industry and consumption. Price increases can signal supply shortages or rising global demand, both of which can contribute to inflation. Monitoring commodity prices helps track cost pressures across sectors.
• Currencies: Exchange rates show how much one currency is worth relative to another. For example, GBP/USD = 1.25 means £1 buys $1.25. Currency values shift based on interest rates, trade balances, and investor confidence. A weaker pound can boost exports but also make imports more expensive, affecting inflation and living costs.
