Following a challenging April, global equity markets rebounded strongly in May, fuelled by renewed investor optimism about expected rate cuts later in the year. Over the month, the DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Euro STOXX 50 and FTSE 100 all recorded positive returns of 2.6%, 5.0%, 7.0%, 2.4% and 2.0%, respectively and measured in their local currencies. In fixed income markets, yields on US and UK 10-year bonds declined by 18.1 and 2.9 basis points, respectively driven by the markets continued anticipation around the timing and pace of interest rate cuts. In commodities, Brent Crude oil was down 4.7% over the month, after peaking in April, due to OPEC+’s plans to phase out voluntary production cuts later in the year. The pound was up 1.9% and 1.6% against the US dollar and euro, respectively.
