  • Synopsis:

    • European equity markets generally opened higher, with pan-European indices briefly extending gains before paring advances and flirting with negative territory on the day shortly after Wall Street's open. Shares then recovered recouping much of the earlier gains.

    • With shares ending back around the best levels of the day, Greece and Norway both ~ +0.1% lead underperformers, with Denmark +1.3%, Netherlands +1.1% and Italy +0.9%, leading outperformers.

    • The war in Iran and the increasing pressure on the UK PM remain in the spotlight.

    • President Trump has arrived in China at the start of a 2-day visit (where he'll meet with Xi Jinping), with tariffs, competition over tech and the US's relationship with Taiwan all on an agenda that is expected to be dominated by the war in Iran

    • In the UK, the Kings speech included a total of 37 bills, outlining the focus of the government's work during the next parliamentary session. These spanned from national security and defence to housing and business as well as changes to education, immigration, health and the courts. However, the government's program was overshadowed by reports that PM Starmer may face a leadership battle as soon as tomorrow, whilst the Scottish National Party is threatening to table an amendment to the King's Speech (being debated by MPs through Thu) on the PM's future, via a motion of no-confidence if Labour MPs fail to force Starmer out of Downing Street.

    • There is a break today in the negotiations to form a new government in Denmark.

    • Both OPEC and the IEA released their latest monthly reports. OPEC cut its Q2 oil demand forecast by 500K bpd and lowered its 2026 demand growth outlook by 210K bpd to +1.17M bpd, though raised its 2027 growth forecast to +1.54M bpd. The IEA said global oil supply fell another 1.8M bpd in Apr to 95.1M bpd, bringing cumulative losses since Feb to 12.8M bpd, with Gulf producers operating 14.4M bpd below pre-war levels. Agency warned supply will remain below demand this year due to Iran war disruptions, while global inventories drew a combined 246M barrels across Mar/Apr. IEA also expects Q2 oil demand to contract by 2.4M bpd, led by petrochemical weakness
