Risk sentiment remains supported by lower Fed tightening expectations after softer-than-expected US producer inflation reinforced the disinflation narrative following the in-line CPI report.

Meanwhile, there has been no diplomatic progress in the US-Iran situation, with the US sending another aircraft carrier to the region and Treasury Secretary Bessent flagging new economic measures against Iran next week.
