Weekly Outlook: August 11, 2025

After a week of broad based caution, the market appears to be entering a period of significant divergence. The monolithic “risk off” narrative is fracturing, replaced by a more complex environment where different asset classes are telling different stories. This week we explore a potential rebound in technology, a major commodity searching for a floor, and a currency trend driven by clear economic disparity.

Technology Stocks Attempt a Rebound

The tech heavy NASDAQ index is positioned for a notable rebound this week, signaling a potential shift back towards growth assets. Our models suggest that following the recent market wide pullback, investors are beginning to selectively buy into technology names, perhaps seeing value and renewed opportunity. This “dip buying” activity indicates a belief that the sector’s long term growth drivers remain intact, making it a key area to watch for signs of returning market confidence.

Crude Oil Searches for a Stable Price

Crude oil’s sharp price decline appears to be losing momentum, with our forecasts indicating a period of stabilization ahead. While concerns about a global demand slowdown continue to weigh on the market, the price has now fallen to a level that is attracting technical support. The narrative is shifting from “how far will it fall” to “where will it find a floor”. This suggests the market is now trying to balance demand fears with the reality of disciplined OPEC plus supply.

The Transatlantic Economic Divide

The U.S. dollar continues to strengthen against the Euro, a direct reflection of the widening economic divide between the two regions. Our models forecast a continued downtrend for the EURUSD pair. This is driven by the persistent economic weakness in the Eurozone, a story highlighted by recent data, compared to a more resilient U.S. economy. For currency markets, this divergence in growth trajectories is the most powerful story right now.

Conclusion

The key takeaway this week is the end of the market’s single story. A rebounding NASDAQ, a stabilizing oil price, and a falling Euro are not contradictory signals. They are evidence of a more mature, discerning market that is now differentiating between sectors, geographies, and asset classes. The path forward is no longer monolithic, requiring investors to analyze these divergent trends carefully.
