What will drive the markets this week?
Global equities closed sharply higher last week on positive economic data from the U.S. and signs of easing inflation as gauged by a reading on the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation. Still, government bonds and safe-haven assets rallied as concerns mount about the risk of recession in the U.S. Meanwhile, crude oil prices rose, closing the week at $115 per barrel, on supply concerns and growing demand emerging from sanctions on Russia and reopening.
