Affected assets and topics
Why it matters
US equity futures are struggling for direction due to mixed corporate earnings, while Google's pre-market trading is boosted by potential multibillion-dollar cloud deal talks with Anthropic. Gold prices continue to decline after a historic surge, and a trade deal between India and the US may lower tariffs on Indian goods.
Expected market reaction
Neutral to slightly bearish for the short-term due to mixed earnings and declining gold prices, but potentially bullish for Google and the tech sector if the cloud deal with Anthropic materializes.
