In the overnight session, traders saw 9 trades resulting in a slight net loss of $-10.00 and a 66.7% win rate on instruments like ES, MES, and NQ. This mixed performance is overshadowed by rising geopolitical tensions, especially after reports surfaced regarding drone attacks and military concerns in Kuwait. The situation escalates as Saudi Arabia reassures its commitment to Iraq amid renewed attacks, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty that could influence market volatility. In terms of macro dynamics, political developments are front and center, with Kuwait stating that it intercepted hostile drones earlier today, raising alarms. Meanwhile, China's approval of four nuclear power projects suggests a commitment to energy infrastructure, but with the ongoing discussions about indefinitely halting oil operations by CPC, energy prices could face fluctuations as traders assess risks and regulations associated with these global developments. As we move into the trading day, the AI sentiment reading is firmly in the negative at 59.5%, with the AI Regime indicating a choppy environment. Despite a historical tendency showing a minor positive average for the coming week, the lack of high-impact USD events today leaves the focus squarely on geopolitical factors and upcoming earnings, particularly from AMD next week.
