Even the ECB&#8217;s payment and securities settlement systems will be down. As such, that will impact liquidity conditions as well. So, don&#8217;t expect any leading direction from Europe in driving broader markets for the session ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-6bf95c48=\"\">London will still be open though, so there&#8217;s at least that to work with. But all things considered, the broader market mood is still heavily riding on what happens next with the US-Iran conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-6bf95c48=\"\">For now though, Wall Street doesn&#8217;t seem to care but are investors being too complacent here? That&#8217;s something to consider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\" data-v-6bf95c48=\"\">The dollar is keeping steadier after the drop yesterday with USD\/JPY bouncing back today to 157.25 currently, up 0.5% on the day. Meanwhile, S&amp;P 500 futures are up 0.2% after the solid gains overnight. It will be interesting to see how much of yesterday&#8217;s moves were tied to month-end or markets being overly eager in writing off the war.
