11/08/2026 Daily Reports
Global Market News Briefing — 11 August 2026
- Nasdaq. US indices began the week lower after Friday’s record close. The Nasdaq Composite declined 0.3% on Monday. Nvidia dropped nearly 3% following a Financial Times report that the chipmaker is working with Apollo Global and Blackstone on a $500 billion AI infrastructure funding package. Futures were flat early Tuesday. Attention turns to July CPI on Wednesday — economists forecast a 3.4% annual increase, down from 3.5% in June — followed by PPI on Thursday, several Treasury auctions, and earnings from Applied Materials, Cisco and CoreWeave.
- DAX. Germany’s blue-chip index closed Monday up, narrowly missing a record high. Infineon, Qiagen and Siemens Energy led gainers, with Porsche Automobil, Siemens Healthineers and Brenntag among the largest decliners. The index was trading around 26,450 on Tuesday.
- Nikkei. Tokyo markets are closed Tuesday for a public holiday. On Monday the Nikkei 225 climbed 2.08% to 66,970 and the Topix rose 0.63% to 4,101, led by chip and AI-linked names including Fujikura (+7.6%), Advantest (+6.4%) and Tokyo Electron (+4.1%). Japan’s June current account surplus narrowed as higher crude imports offset strong AI-related electronics exports. USD/JPY traded near 159.
- Gold. Spot gold traded around $4,435/oz, up roughly 0.5% and near its highest level since early June, with silver at $66.47. CME FedWatch showed a 46% probability of a September Fed rate increase and 79% by December.
- Brent. Brent traded near $88 a barrel after a fourth consecutive daily gain, following Trump’s sweeping new demands on Iran that clouded prospects for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran said Oman talks were nearing agreement but rejected direct US negotiations; Houthi forces claimed an attack on Saudi Arabia’s Jazan refinery, an ADNOC tanker was attacked in Hormuz, and US Strategic Petroleum Reserve holdings fell below 300 million barrels, the lowest since 1983.
