On the morning of November 12th, global markets paused in collective breath-holding, as investors weighed the weight of what was coming: inflation data, Federal Reserve voices, and the still-unfolding implications of a new American political chapter. The modest declines in U.S. futures — following record closes just the day before — spoke less of fear than of the ancient market instinct to wait and listen before moving forward. From Tokyo to London, the same uncertainty echoed, as the world tried to read the shape of a future not yet written.
