The Israeli stock market has experienced a period of relative stability in recent days, attributed to a decline in key uncertainties that had previously unsettled investors. This calm comes alongside steadiness in the semiconductor sector and reduced market volatility. However, beneath this quiet phase lies a significant question regarding the impact of high US Treasury yields, which currently stand above 4.7% for 10-year bonds. Analysts debate whether these elevated yields will weigh down equity markets or if bond markets will align with the optimism seen in stocks.
Attention is shifting to the upcoming earnings season, with Bank Hapoalim already reporting a net profit of 2.49 billion shekels for the second quarter and announcing a dividend payout of 50% of profits. Later this week, three other major banks, Bank Leumi, Mizrahi Tefahot, and Discount Bank, are expected to release their results, potentially increasing volatility in bank stocks and local indices.
Currency stability is also noted, with the shekel trading around 3 per US dollar despite rising energy prices and growing uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz. This resilience suggests relative strength in the local currency amid global tensions. The next critical market test will come with the US inflation data release, where moderate figures could ease pressure on the Federal Reserve, while higher-than-expected inflation might bolster the dollar and renew market volatility.
