Market brief — May 13, 2026

European markets opened mixed on Wednesday amid thin overnight volumes, with the CAC 40 edging up 0.2% on defensive buying in utilities, while the DAX slipped 0.1% weighed by auto sector weakness; FTSE 100 held flat as miners tracked softer commodity futures. US indices futures point modestly lower pre-bell, Dow contracts down 0.3%, S&P 500 off 0.4%, and Nasdaq futures declining 0.5% following a lackluster Asian session where Nikkei fell 0.6% and Hang Seng dropped 0.8% on China property sector jitters. Agenda highlights include Eurozone industrial production data this morning, US CPI release afternoon (consensus: 3.4% YoY), and Fed speakers across the pond gauging rate cut odds now at 75bps by year-end per CME FedWatch. Key themes revolve around persistent inflation stickiness curbing Fed pivot hopes, crypto rebound with Bitcoin stabilizing above $62K on ETF inflow data, and geopolitical flows favoring safe-haven CHF and JPY amid Middle East tensions. Flows show rotation into value stocks and gold ETFs, with $2.1B inflows last week per EPFR data. Risks to watch: hotter-than-expected US CPI sparking Treasury yield spike above 4.5%, escalation in Ukraine energy strikes disrupting EU gas supplies, and crypto volatility if regulatory probes intensify post-FTX echoes. Actionable ideas: Trim Nasdaq exposure for CPI hedge via VIX calls; layer into European defensives like SNY.PA on 5% discount to fair value; buy Bitcoin dips targeting $65K resistance on halving cycle momentum.
