The UK’s rising unemployment and faint 0.1% growth are like dimming lights, signalling an economy catching its breath. The Bank of England moves carefully, stepping softly across uncertain ground.

Across the Atlantic, elevated US Treasury yields glow like a powerful beacon, pulling money toward the dollar and making borrowing elsewhere feel like climbing a steeper hill.

The Eurozone’s gentle 0.2% growth leaves the ECB balancing on a thin wire, weighing stubborn inflation against a fragile recovery.

Across markets, investors read these signals like shifting skies…global yields, drifting economies, and diverging paths shaping whether they lean into risk or retreat to safety.
