Based on our latest observations, last week we witnessed outperformers and underperformers in the market. Silver, Gold, DAX, DJI, and STOXX50 were the outperforming assets, showing higher returns compared to other assets. Conversely, HSI, Brent, WTI, CSI300, and EUR were the underperformers with lower returns.

In terms of treasury yields, there was a decrease over the week. The 13-week treasury yield dropped from 5.258% to 5.215%, while the 5-year treasury yield decreased from 4.413% to 4.156%. This indicates lower yields compared to the previous week.

Analyzing risk/reward ratios, NDX and Gold emerged as securities with the highest ratios, suggesting higher risk but also potentially higher rewards. On the other hand, JPY and HSI had the lowest risk/reward ratios, indicating lower potential rewards compared to the risk involved.

Regarding correlation, Gold and Silver demonstrated the lowest correlations with other assets, suggesting potential diversification benefits and risk mitigation during market fluctuations. This implies that adding Gold and Silver to a diversified portfolio could potentially provide stability during market volatility.

However, the report does not provide specific details on the nature of these events, their impact, or their implications for specific assets or sectors.

Any surprises in these data points could lead to fluctuations and should be closely monitored.
