🌅 Morning Update - 3 February 2026 Markets are trying to regain balance after the sharp risk-off move seen at the start of the week. Volatility remains elevated across asset classes, but early trading suggests a cautious stabilisation rather than another wave of forced selling. 🌏 Asia: relief rally, but nerves remain Asian equity markets are trading mostly higher, rebounding from recent losses as short-term sellers step aside. Japan and South Korea are leading the bounce, supported by tech stocks, while China remains more restrained as investors stay cautious on growth and policy signals. Overall sentiment in Asia has improved, but positioning remains defensive rather than outright bullish. 🥇 Precious metals: correction meets dip-buyers Gold and silver are attempting to stabilise after last week’s aggressive sell-off. The move appears corrective rather than a full trend reversal, with traders closely watching whether buying interest can hold above recent lows. Volatility in metals remains high, meaning sharp intraday swings are still very much in play. 🟡⚪ 🛢️ Oil: geopolitics vs supply discipline Crude prices remain choppy. Markets continue to price in lower immediate geopolitical risk in the Middle East, while at the same time reacting to OPEC+ maintaining its current production policy for March and offering limited guidance beyond Q1. With no fresh supply signals, oil remains highly sensitive to headlines and inventory data. 🛢️ 💱 FX and crypto: selective risk taking The US dollar is trading mixed as markets reassess interest-rate expectations and broader risk sentiment. High-beta currencies are attempting a modest recovery, but conviction is still limited. In crypto, bitcoin remains volatile after the recent sell-off. Traders are watching closely to see whether the market can form a short-term corrective rebound or if selling pressure resumes near resistance levels. ₿⚠️

📊 Market Expectations vs Reality – How Mispricing Forms Markets entered 2026 expecting steady growth, easing inflation and strong risk appetite. But reality keeps forcing adjustments 🌍 In gold, prices have swung between inflation fears and a stronger US dollar narrative. When traders price in aggressive rate cuts that don’t materialise, bullion can become temporarily mispriced. 🪙 Oil has traded on supply concerns and geopolitical risk, yet softer global demand signals have repeatedly triggered pullbacks. Expectations of tight deficits don’t always match real consumption data. 🛢️ Crypto shows the same pattern. Bitcoin and major altcoins often rally on momentum and ETF or adoption narratives, then correct sharply when flows slow or macro pressure builds. 🔄 Mispricing forms when expectations outrun fundamentals – whether inflation data, energy demand or liquidity conditions. When reality catches up, prices adjust fast, sometimes overshooting. 💥 Smart traders look for these gaps between narrative and data. 🔎 Ready to trade with clarity? 👉 https://my.nordfx.com/en/regis... 📈 Markets react to expectations. Profits come from understanding reality.
