Brent jumps for two days but stays below stress trigger, Deutsche Bank says
Deutsche Bank points to past episodes where equities and credit vulnerabilities typically only show up once Brent trades sustainably near $110 a barrel.
Deutsche Bank strategists said Brent crude has rallied sharply over two days, driven by geopolitical tensions and Gulf-related policy headlines, though the move has not reached levels that previously sparked broader market stress.
In their view, Brent remains well below the threshold associated with past stress episodes in equities and credit, with vulnerabilities tending to emerge only when Brent trades sustainably around $110 per barrel based on current prices.
The FXStreet commentary also noted that GBP/USD held moderate gains around 1.3400 amid pressure on the US dollar after softer US inflation data, while EUR/USD stabilized above 1.1400 in a narrow range.
It added that markets are looking ahead to additional US data and ongoing Middle East headlines, alongside gold trading lower toward $4,000 as the US dollar stays on the back foot.
