Catalysts & Headlines (CET)

⚡
Volatility compression vs elevated absolute VIX
VIX is down on the day but still high, so breakouts can extend while pullbacks may stay sharp around key DAX levels.
08:00
Energy shock relief from sharply lower Brent
A large drop in Brent can boost European cyclicals via inflation and margin relief, supporting dips unless risk-off resumes.
08:05
Rates backdrop supportive with slightly lower US 10Y
Lower yields reduce discount-rate pressure and can keep buyers active above the pivot while funding conditions feel easier.
