Gold prices recover from two-week low ahead of Trump-Zelensky talks
Gold (GC=F) Gold prices climbed on Monday morning, recovering from a two-week low as investors turned their attention to high-stakes talks between US president Donald Trump, his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, amid tentative signs of a possible peace breakthrough with Russia. At the time of writing, gold futures rose 0.4% to $3,395.50 per ounce and spot gold climbed 0.6% to $3,356.05 per ounce, after hitting its lowest level since 1 August. "Gold was on the back foot to start the day, but... was able to reverse course with buyers stepping up to around $3,330 as a value play. US treasury yields gave up some of Friday's gains which also helped to make life easier for the gold price," KCM Trade chief market analyst Tim Waterer said. Peace proposals on the table include Russia ceding control of small, currently occupied territories, while Ukraine would forgo larger sections of its eastern regions that Russia has so far failed to seize. The proposals were reportedly discussed between Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin during their summit in Alaska.

She added: "Gold demand remains strong — showing investors are cautious ahead of Trump's meeting with Zelensky. Material progress could spark further oil weakness, a rally across equities, and softer gold demand. Disappointment would bring oil bulls back, pressure equities (except defense), and lift gold." Oil (BZ=F, CL=F) Oil prices were little changed on Monday morning, following earlier declines, as markets digested the outcome of last week's high-profile meeting between Trump and Putin. Brent (BZ=F) crude futures rose 0.1% to trade at $65.93 per barrel, at the time of writing, while West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) futures climbed 0.3% to $62.97 a barrel. "With less talk of tougher sanctions on Russia, oil prices dropped back as supply concerns faded, but amid the ongoing uncertainty Brent Crude has begun creeping higher and has headed back above $66 a barrel," said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown. Trump and Putin met in Alaska on Friday, where the US president signalled a preference for pursuing a peace deal in Ukraine rather than insisting on a ceasefire first. Trump also made it clear that he would not immediately impose retaliatory tariffs on countries importing Russian oil, including China, a move that helped ease fears of potential supply disruptions. However, he cautioned that such measures could be considered in 'two or three weeks'.

'The status quo remains largely intact for now,' said RBC Capital's Helima Croft, though she added that Moscow is unlikely to abandon its territorial demands, while Ukraine and European leaders resist land-for-peace terms. Pound (GBPUSD=X, GBPEUR=X) The pound remained subdued in early European trading on Monday, weighed down by a firmer US dollar and investor caution ahead of the meeting between Trump and Zelensky later this Monday. Sterling was little changed against the dollar, holding at $1.3550, and remained flat against the euro at €1.577. The US dollar index ( which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, was higher at 97.86. Traders are awaiting the Trump-Zelensky meeting in Washington later today as it may provide clues about a potential ceasefire deal or new sanctions on Russia or its crude buyers. Any signs of geopolitical tensions could increase demand for safe-haven assets and put pressure on the pound in the near term. Investors are also waiting for the upcoming Jackson Hole central banker meeting for clues on the direction of interest rates in the US, with expectations that recent data could pave the way for further rate cuts. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio "Despite the fierce criticism he's had to shoulder from president Trump, Fed chair Jerome Powell is not expected to set a firm path for rate reductions. He is likely to say he'll stay driven by the latest inflation and jobs data available," Streeter said. In equities, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) was in the green on Monday morning, up 0.2% to 9,154 points.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq waver with Ukraine's fate, Fed policy in focus
US stocks wavered on Monday as investors turned their focus to a high-stakes US-Ukraine meeting, kicking off a week dominated by a Federal Reserve speech that could define the outlook for interest rates. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose above the flatline, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) flipped between negative and positive territory, coming off a second straight winning week for the major gauges. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) was also little changed. Geopolitics are front of mind as Volodymyr Zelensky and European allies spoke with President Trump in Washington, D.C., with the Ukrainian president facing US pressure to accept a peace deal that favors Russia. The meeting follows Trump's encounter with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, at their Alaska summit. But markets are also looking ahead to the main event this week, Jerome Powell's comments at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday. His speech — likely to be Powell's last as Fed chair — will be closely followed for clues to the path of monetary policy, after inflation and retail data prompted Wall Street to temper rate cut hopes last week. The annual gathering of central bankers often brings signals of key shifts in Fed thinking, and its policymakers are facing a dilemma over what action to take. The release of minutes from the Fed's July meeting on Wednesday will set the stage for Jackson Hole in a week light on economic data. Meanwhile, second quarter earnings season is winding down, with Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and Blink Charging (BLNK) reports on Monday's docket. With most of the reports in, the results have been mostly positive. Highly anticipated earnings from Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Home Depot (HD), and Lowe's (LOW) are due later in the week, likely to provide insights into consumer spending. Shares of Intel (INTC) fell to session lows after Bloomberg reported the Trump administration was contemplating a 10% stake in the chip maker. Last week shares jumped after reports that Trump was considering using funds from the Chips act to invest in the company. Intel drops to session lows after report Trump administration wants 10% stake in chip maker Intel (INTC) shares dropped nearly 4% to session lows on Monday after Bloomberg reported the White House is eyeing a 10% stake in the chipmaker. Last week, the stock popped after a report indicated President Trump's intent to invest in the company after meeting with CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who has been at the job since March. Trump had previously publicly called for Lip-Bu Tan to resign, calling him "highly conflicted." Intel is undergoing a turnaround plan after years of lagging its peers in the chip and AI space.

Mega caps' stock market dominance 'may be done' The stock market has been all about large market capitalization companies for over a decade. Dating back to 2015, Bank of America Securities Head of US equity and Quantitive Strategy Savita Subramanian found that the largest 50 stocks in the S&P 500 (^GSPC) have outperformed the benchmark index by 73 percentage points. Subramanian points out the last notable run of similar outperformance for the 50 largest stocks in the index came in the late 1990s leading into the bursting of the dot-com bubble. Subramanian thinks a similar tide shift might be coming to markets now. "History would suggest there is more to go in cap-weighted dominance," Subramanian wrote in a note to clients. "But if the Fed's next move is a rate cut, and if the Regime indicator is shifting to a Recovery, we think the run may be closer to done." BofA's "regime indicator," which includes a variety of factors such as corporate earnings revisions, inflation data and economic growth projections, has started to point to the recovery phase. This combined with a Federal Reserve that markets believe will cut interest rates by at least half a percentage point before the end of year, is a positive setup for value stocks, Subramanian argues. And the largest stocks in the market right now are "anti value," "[Federal Reserve] easing has been accompanied by Mega caps lagging more than leading, and higher inflation should support a broadening of the S&P 500 beyond defensives/secular growth," Subramanian wrote.

Terawulf stock jumps as Google ups stake in bitcoin miner to 14% Bitcoin miner and data center operator Terawulf (WULF) saw its stock jump nearly 11% after announcing that Google is taking a 14% stake in the company. In return for the equity stake, Google is providing a backstop as Terawulf uses debt financing to expand a Lake Mariner data center campus in western New York, making it one of the largest campuses in the US. In connection with the project, Terawulf announced a $400 million debt offering Monday. The new data center capacity will be leased by AI cloud provider Fluidstack. The deal was first unveiled when the company released its second quarter earnings results last week. Terawulf initially said Google would provide a $1.8 billion backstop in exchange for an 8% stake in the company during its earnings call, but that figure was upped to $3.2 billion Monday. CEO Paul Prager said its Lake Mariner campus will be one of the "cornerstone assets for the future of AI infrastructure." Terawulf is one of many bitcoin miners transitioning to provide AI infrastructure. Novo Nordisk gains after the bell as company offers discounted Ozempic Danish pharma giant Novo Nordisk (NVO) saw its US-listed shares gain more than 5% Monday after the open as the company said it would offer patients its diabetes drug Ozempic for less than half the price if they pay cash. The move makes the medication more affordable for patients who don't have insurance coverage, though the reduced price still amounts to $499, keeping it out of reach for many Americans. Also on Monday, GoodRx announced it will begin selling both of Novo Nordisk's GLP-1 drugs for $499 a month. Shares had climbed premarket Monday after the company said Friday it received approval from the FDA for its liver disease MASH. Also boosting shares, Novo Nordisk reportedly will not charge more for pill versions of its weight-loss injections, which are expected to launch in 2026. This would be a departure from drugmakers' typical practice of charging more for new medications. The moves come after President Trump has ramped up pressure on drugmakers to lower prices, though his tariffs could raise prices. Read more here.

Three weeks ago, investors wiped $70 billion off its market value, after Novo — which became Europe's most valuable listed company following the launch of Wegovy in 2021 — issued a profit warning and named a company veteran as new CEO. On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval for Wegovy to treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, or MASH, making it the first GLP-1 class therapy cleared for the progressive liver condition that affects around 5% of adults in the United States.

Goldman team likely to stay in Trump's crosshairs President Trump has recently offered a few choice words on the work from Goldman Sachs' economics team, led by long-time economist Jan Hatzius. The team is unlikely to garner some praise from Trump today. Here's what Hatzius and his team served up in a new note on Monday morning: "After the recent downward revisions to payrolls, our estimate of trend job growth is now clearly below even that . And while the picture could change again for better or worse, future revisions to job growth are more likely to be because the birth-death model is likely a bit too generous, changes in trend payroll growth can initially be partially misattributed to changes in seasonal factors, revisions to the raw payrolls data tended to be negative in past slowdowns, data from ADP raise doubts about officially reported payroll growth in healthcare, and the household survey is now overstating immigration and employment gains. Like the slowdown in activity growth this year, the slowdown in job growth appears to have arisen from more than just the direct effects of trade and immigration policy changes. We are particularly worried that 'catch-up hiring' in a few industries now appears over and job growth outside those industries has fallen to around zero. And while job openings remain at a decent level, they started to decline again earlier this year."

Here's what Hatzius and his team served up in a new note on Monday morning: "After the recent downward revisions to payrolls, our estimate of trend job growth is now clearly below even that . And while the picture could change again for better or worse, future revisions to job growth are more likely to be because the birth-death model is likely a bit too generous, changes in trend payroll growth can initially be partially misattributed to changes in seasonal factors, revisions to the raw payrolls data tended to be negative in past slowdowns, data from ADP raise doubts about officially reported payroll growth in healthcare, and the household survey is now overstating immigration and employment gains. Like the slowdown in activity growth this year, the slowdown in job growth appears to have arisen from more than just the direct effects of trade and immigration policy changes. We are particularly worried that 'catch-up hiring' in a few industries now appears over and job growth outside those industries has fallen to around zero. And while job openings remain at a decent level, they started to decline again earlier this year."
