Executive Summary

Where global equities sit this week
Weekly read

Where global equities sit this week — direction, breadth, leadership, risk.

S&P 500 closed at 7,575.39 (+1.23% WoW; +10.66% YTD), with the Nasdaq 100 at 29,825.11 (+1.69% WoW) and the Russell 2000 -0.61% on the week.

Stoxx 600 -1.79% WoW (+8.15% YTD). Japan (-1.70% WoW; +36.19% YTD local, +30.86% USD) shows how much of the year's headline performance is FX vs. price.

EM held firmer — broad EEM +1.83% WoW, with India Nifty (-0.26% WoW; -7.36% YTD local) and Saudi Arabia (TASI) at 10,808.43 (+3.03% YTD).

Risk signals. VIX at 15.03 (-6.93% WoW) and the MOVE bond-vol index +6.35% as the US 10Y yield printed 4.57% (+1.87% WoW). The dollar +0.11% on the DXY; credit ETFs (HYG +0.00%, LQD -1.09%) frame the risk regime at the long end of the curve.

Volatility & Risk

VIX, VXN, MOVE and drawdown context
Risk lens. VIX captures equity-implied volatility; VXN does the same for the Nasdaq 100; MOVE is the comparable index for US Treasury options. Watch the equity-bond vol pair together — when MOVE leads VIX higher, it's typically a rates-driven equity selloff (duration story), not an idiosyncratic equity event.

Rates, FX and credit — the macro context for the equity tape
Context. Equities don't trade in a vacuum. Watch the US 10Y for duration regime, DXY for the currency leg of global returns, and HY/IG credit ETFs as the canary for risk appetite at the long end of the corporate curve.

Methodology & Sources

What's in the tape and where it came from

Pricing & cadence

Publication: every Monday at 08:00 IST with the prior Friday's closing prints. Where Friday is a market holiday, the most recent settlement is used as the anchor.

Indices: end-of-day exchange feeds for the 25 benchmark indices. Cash settlements where available; otherwise level. TOPIX uses an ETF proxy (1308.T) for chart continuity.

US sectors: SPDR Select Sector ETFs (XLE, XLB, XLI, XLY, XLP, XLV, XLF, XLK, XLC, XLU, XLRE) — the cleanest free read on GICS 11 dynamics.

Factors: iShares MSCI USA single-factor ETFs (MTUM, QUAL, VLUE, USMV, SIZE, DGRO).

Volatility: CBOE VIX/VXN; ICE BofA MOVE for Treasury vol.

Rates & FX: CBOE-quoted yield indices (^IRX/^FVX/^TNX/^TYX); spot FX pairs via vendor feeds. ICE Dollar Index for DXY.

Credit: iShares HYG/LQD/AGG/TLT as ETF proxies for high-yield, investment-grade and Treasury exposure.

How we read the tape

Four questions anchor every weekly read:

(i) Direction. Where did the major benchmarks finish vs. last week, month, year-start, year-on-year?

(ii) Breadth. Is the move concentrated (mega-cap tech only) or broad-based (Russell 2000, equal-weight, EM joining)?

(iii) Leadership. Which sectors and factors are working? What does that tell us about the regime — cyclical, defensive, growth, value?

(iv) Risk regime. Are vol gauges (VIX, MOVE) consistent with the equity tape, or is one diverging from the other?

Local-currency returns are shown alongside USD-translated returns for every non-USD index — the FX leg is often half the story for global allocators.
