Sterling hit a five-month high against the euro, while the FTSE 100 reached a record 10,402.34 points. January’s UK services PMI rose to 54.0, but hiring fell as firms faced higher payroll costs.

    June 29, 2026, 2:05 AM EDT. Goldman Sachs advises investors to maintain positions in Asia's top equity performers amid strong earnings growth prospects, highlighting North Asia markets like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China's A-shares. The bank emphasizes ongoing demand for commodities such as copper and gold, driven by geopolitical tensions and structural trends including artificial intelligence, power infrastructure, and defense spending. Goldman forecasts mid-teen returns for the MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index in H2 2024, with a semiconductor memory supercycle underpinning technology hardware strength. Continued supply constraints and rising demand support a bullish outlook on copper prices, targeting $13,735 per metric ton by end-2026 and $15,000 by 2035. Gold is expected to appreciate to $4,900 an ounce, reflecting sustained investor interest in safe-haven assets amid geopolitical uncertainty.
