New York Session Market Analysis

1. Header

• Date: Monday, July 13, 2026
• Report timestamp: Monday, 13 July 2026 at 18:14 WIB / Monday, 13 July 2026 at 11:14 UTC
• Coverage window: Asia session, London session, U.S. pre-market, and the setup for the New York cash session into early after-hours.
• Data freshness note: Report timestamp 2026-07-13 18:14 WIB / 2026-07-13 11:14 UTC. Cross-asset prices are approximate live/pre-market snapshots. Official U.S. Treasury constant-maturity yields are the July 10, 2026 close (2Y 4.21%, 10Y 4.56%) and may lag live cash trading. Prime Markets terminal and MRKT Edge in Chrome were unavailable at publish time.
• Session bias: Mixed with a defensive macro undertone. The worst overnight panic faded, but oil, rates, and geopolitical headline risk still argue against aggressive chasing.

2. Executive Summary

• The biggest global driver into New York is still the renewed U.S.-Iran escalation around the Strait of Hormuz, which kept oil elevated and forced investors to keep an inflation-risk premium in the tape.
• The U.S. setup is stronger than the overnight headlines implied because futures have recovered materially off the early selloff: NAS100 futures 29,758.25 (+0.98%), ES futures 7,598.75 (+0.93%), Dow futures 52,889 (+0.50%), Russell 2000 futures 2,989.9 (+0.62%).
• The USD/yield theme is mixed rather than one-way defensive: DXY 100.88 (-0.17%) is a touch softer, but FX follow-through is uneven and the official Treasury close still sits high at 2Y 4.21% / 10Y 4.56%.
• Equity leadership remains fragile. Overnight stress hit semiconductors and Korea hardest, with the Kospi down about 9% and SK Hynix down roughly 15%, so any U.S. tech bounce still needs confirmation from semis and breadth.
• Commodities are still carrying the macro message: gold $4,064.3 (-0.16%), silver $58.60, WTI $73.93 (+0.56%), Brent $78.57 (+0.70%). Oil is not panicking higher right now, but it remains too elevated to ignore.
• Crypto is softer but not in liquidation mode: BTC $62,991 (-1.40%), ETH $1,783 (-0.94%), SOL $76.41 (-0.42%). U.S. ETF flow data from Friday, July 10, 2026 still showed +$90.4M for spot BTC ETFs and +$18.4M for spot ETH ETFs, while Binance funding stayed relatively contained.
• The main scheduled U.S. catalysts today are Fed Governor Christopher Waller at 12:30 ET / 23:30 WIB, Treasury’s Monthly Budget Statement at 14:00 ET / 01:00 WIB Tuesday, and the 13-week / 26-week Treasury bill auctions later in the New York morning.
• Best alpha is in conditional oil continuation, tactical gold support, selective USDJPY downside if yields stop rising, and only buying index beta on confirmation rather than assuming the overnight dip is fully resolved.

3. What Happened Before New York

• Asia session: Asia was mixed and volatile. Japan's Nikkei 225 -1.49% and China's Shanghai Composite -1.92% reflected risk aversion, while Hang Seng +2.53% and IHSG/JCI +0.86% held up better. The hardest damage came from Korea, where the Kospi fell roughly 9% after a record drawdown in SK Hynix intensified AI/semiconductor positioning stress.
• London session: Europe carried the defensive tone rather than fully fading it. By the time New York prep began, public market snapshots showed DAX -2.72%, FTSE 100 -1.60%, and Euro Stoxx 50 -0.71%. Energy-linked names held up better than travel, cyclicals, and tech.
• European equity and FX moves: The European handoff was not a full panic liquidation, but it was still risk-reducing. EUR and GBP held reasonably stable against the dollar, while traders continued to rotate toward energy-linked hedges and away from crowded AI exposure.
• U.S. futures movement: Earlier market coverage pointed to Nasdaq futures down around 1% on the first read. By the report timestamp, futures had already recovered sharply into positive territory. That matters because New York inherits a market that has already squeezed a chunk of the fear trade, not one opening from maximum panic.
• Rates and bond market reaction: Treasury yields remain elevated enough to constrain equity multiple expansion. The official July 10 close was 2Y 4.21%, 10Y 4.56%, 30Y 5.06%. Market commentary heading into New York suggested the 10Y was hovering near 4.57%, reinforcing that the curve is not offering a clean duration tailwind yet.
• Commodities: Oil stayed firm on Hormuz and Gulf-security risk. WTI $73.93 (+0.56%), Brent $78.57 (+0.70%), gold $4,064.3 (-0.16%), silver $58.60, copper $6.267 (+3.50%), and natural gas $2.899 (-9.74%). The key read is that energy remains the macro stress channel even though gold is not extending higher today.
• Crypto: Spot crypto stayed heavy but orderly. BTC $62,991, ETH $1,783, SOL $76.41. Alternative.me showed Fear & Greed at 28 (Fear). Binance perpetual funding at publish time was approximately +0.0057% BTC, +0.0006% ETH, and -0.0041% SOL, which points to leverage that is active but not euphoric.

4. New York Open Market Snapshot

• NAS100 futures: 29,758.25, +0.98% versus the prior settlement in the available public snapshot. Interpretation: the market has already bought some of the overnight fear, so upside follow-through now needs breadth and semis.
• S&P 500 futures: 7,598.75, +0.93%. Interpretation: broad index futures are recovering, but not yet in a way that erases the rates-and-oil problem.
• Dow futures: 52,889, +0.50%. Interpretation: old economy and energy-sensitive components are cushioning the tape.
• Russell 2000 futures: 2,989.9, +0.62%. Interpretation: small-cap participation is better than the Asia/London tone suggested, but still needs cash-market confirmation.
• DXY: 100.88, -0.17%. Interpretation: dollar strength has paused, not broken decisively.
• EURUSD: 1.1438, approximately -0.03%. Interpretation: euro is steady, but not showing a full USD unwind.
• GBPUSD: 1.3400, +0.01%. Interpretation: sterling is stable rather than independently strong.
• USDJPY: 162.07, approximately flat/slightly lower. Interpretation: yen has not fully taken over as the clean risk-off winner because U.S. yields remain elevated.
• AUDUSD: 0.6948, -0.10%. Interpretation: pro-risk FX is still cautious.
• USDCNH: 6.7801, roughly flat. Interpretation: CNH is not adding a new China-stress signal right now.
• USDIDR: 18,064, +0.10% using public spot proxy data. Interpretation: rupiah pressure is controlled, but not yet a clean EM-FX relief story. Official BI fixing was not directly available at publish time.
• U.S. 2Y / 10Y yields: 4.21% / 4.56% on the official July 10 close. Interpretation: still high enough to keep a higher-for-longer discipline on equity and gold trades.
• VIX: 16.29, +4.62%. Interpretation: volatility is elevated but not disorderly.
• Gold: $4,064.3, -0.16%. Interpretation: safe-haven demand is present in the background, but oil/rates inflation logic is currently stronger than panic flight-to-quality.
• Oil: WTI $73.93 (+0.56%), Brent $78.57 (+0.70%). Interpretation: energy remains the first macro dashboard to watch.
• BTC / ETH / SOL: . Interpretation: crypto is trading heavy but not in a disorderly deleveraging event.

5. Key Macro and Geopolitical Drivers

• U.S. macro and Fed expectations: Today's calendar is light enough that Fed communication matters more than usual. Waller at 12:30 ET is the main macro speech risk. If he leans toward sticky inflation and rate restraint, the market will have to reprice the recovery bounce against a still-tight front end.
• Treasury yields and liquidity: The curve is not giving traders an easy “buy everything” signal. Official yields remain elevated, and the market also has to absorb Treasury bill supply on the same day. If auctions tail or if yields firm after Waller, the New York rebound can stall fast.
• Earnings and sector leadership: This is the warm-up session before a heavier U.S. bank-earnings and inflation week. That reduces willingness to chase index beta aggressively into the close. The tape still needs semiconductors, banks, and breadth to agree before traders can treat this as a real continuation move.
• European session carryover: Europe's weakness says the macro shock was real, not imaginary. New York is inheriting a stabilized handoff, but not a clean foreign-session confirmation of risk appetite.
• China / Japan / Asia risk: The Korea semiconductor drawdown showed how fragile AI concentration trades have become. Japan and China remain relevant because any additional Asia weakness tonight would feed straight back into global tech and cyclical confidence.
• Oil and geopolitical risk: The market is still one fresh Gulf headline away from a new oil squeeze. That is why even a rising futures tape should be treated as conditional. Oil above WTI 74 / Brent 79 would likely push traders back into inflation-hedge and defensiveness language very quickly.
• Crypto-specific risk: ETF flow data from Friday, July 10, 2026 was constructive, but today's spot tape is softer. Binance long/short data still shows longs leaning in, especially in ETH and SOL, so crypto can bounce if the dollar stays soft, but it can also unwind quickly if equities and yields move against it.
• Positioning, options, volatility, and liquidity: VIX is available and elevated, but MOVE index, credit spreads, dealer gamma, and comprehensive options positioning dashboards were unavailable from the accessible source set at publish time. Positioning analysis therefore remains partial.

6. Asset-by-Asset Analysis

A. Forex

• Current bias: Mixed USD. DXY is softer, but the move is not broad enough to call a clean dollar breakdown.
• Key levels: DXY 100.50 / 101.20; EURUSD 1.1400 / 1.1500; GBPUSD 1.3350 / 1.3450; USDJPY 161.50 / 162.80; AUDUSD 0.6900 / 0.7000; USDCNH 6.75 / 6.82; USDIDR 17,950 / 18,150.
• Bullish scenario: A softer Waller tone and stable oil allow EURUSD and GBPUSD to grind higher while DXY stays capped under 101.
• Bearish scenario: A fresh energy/geopolitical shock or firmer Treasury yields pull DXY back above 101 and hit high-beta FX.
• What invalidates the view: DXY reclaiming 101.20 with 10Y yields holding above 4.58%.
• What traders should watch: USDJPY versus yields, AUDUSD versus equity breadth, and whether CNH stays stable or starts broadcasting China stress again.

B. U.S. equities

• Current bias: Selective risk, not broad “all clear.”
• Key levels: NAS100 29,500 / 30,000; ES 7,540 / 7,640; Dow 52,500 / 53,050; Russell 2,960 / 3,020.
• Bullish scenario: NQ holding above 29,800 with VIX stabilizing and semis no longer dragging lets the squeeze continue.
• Bearish scenario: The rebound fails, semis remain weak, and rates or oil reassert themselves into the cash open.
• What invalidates the view: ES back below 7,540 or NQ back below 29,500 after the open.
• What traders should watch: opening breadth, bank participation, semiconductor relative strength, and whether energy leadership is healthy or simply defensive.

C. Global equities summary, including IHSG/JCI

• Current bias: Asia mixed, Europe defensive, U.S. trying to recover.
• Key references: JCI +0.86%, Nikkei -1.49%, Shanghai -1.92%, Hang Seng +2.53%, Kospi about -9%, DAX -2.72%, FTSE -1.60%.
• Bullish scenario: New York treats Europe as the capitulation leg and extends a relief bounce.
• Bearish scenario: U.S. traders re-price the global weakness instead of fading it.
• What invalidates the view: a renewed semiconductor-led selloff or aggressive oil spike.
• What traders should watch: any follow-through from Korea semiconductor stress, and whether JCI/EMFX resilience continues if DXY stops falling.

D. Crypto

• Current bias: Soft but orderly.
• Key levels: BTC 62,000 / 64,400; ETH 1,760 / 1,820; SOL 74.50 / 78.00.
• Bullish scenario: The dollar stays soft, ETF-flow narrative remains constructive, and funding stays contained.
• Bearish scenario: U.S. equities fade and crypto loses its ETF-flow cushion.
• What invalidates the view: BTC losing 62,000 decisively or ETH losing 1,760 while funding turns more one-sided.
• What traders should watch: ETF headlines, Binance funding, and whether BTC can decouple positively from equity volatility.

E. Metals

• Current bias: Gold structurally supported, tactically consolidating.
• Key levels: Gold 4,040 / 4,100; silver 57.80 / 59.50; copper 6.20 / 6.35.
• Bullish scenario: Waller is benign and geopolitical headlines keep safe-haven demand simmering.
• Bearish scenario: oil stays firm, yields rise, and gold underperforms other inflation hedges.
• What invalidates the view: gold losing 4,040 with DXY and yields both firming.
• What traders should watch: the gold-versus-oil relationship and whether real-yield pressure or fear hedging wins the next move.

F. Energy

• Current bias: Bullish headline premium, but vulnerable to diplomatic reversals.
• Key levels: WTI 72.50 / 75.00; Brent 77.50 / 79.80; natural gas 2.80 / 3.05.
• Bullish scenario: another Hormuz or Gulf-security shock sends oil back to the overnight highs.
• Bearish scenario: geopolitical de-escalation headlines or signs of shipping normalization cap the move.
• What invalidates the view: WTI slipping back below 72.50 on clear de-escalation evidence.
• What traders should watch: tanker/shipping headlines, Gulf-base headlines, and whether energy equities confirm the commodity move.

G. Rates / bonds / macro risk

• Current bias: Yields are elevated enough to stay restrictive.
• Key levels: U.S. 2Y 4.15 / 4.28; U.S. 10Y 4.50 / 4.60.
• Bullish scenario for risk assets: auctions are absorbed cleanly and Waller does not revive a higher-for-longer scare.
• Bearish scenario: the front end and long end both firm on inflation/oil concerns.
• What invalidates the view: 10Y sustaining above 4.60%.
• What traders should watch: Waller, the bill-auction tone, and whether traders start pre-positioning harder for Tuesday CPI.

H. Volatility and positioning

• Current bias: Elevated but not dislocated.
• Key levels: VIX 16.0 / 18.0.
• Bullish scenario: VIX stabilizes while futures hold the recovery.
• Bearish scenario: low-confidence dip-buying meets a new headline shock.
• What invalidates the view: VIX pushing above 18 while the opening-range lows fail.
• What traders should watch: index breadth, semiconductor damage, and whether crypto leverage overheats.

7. Biggest Alpha Opportunities

1. WTI continuation long only above $74.20
   Asset: WTI crude. Direction: conditional breakout long. Time horizon: intraday/session. Entry trigger: hold above $74.20 after the U.S. open. Invalidation: $72.90. Targets: $75.00, then $76.20. Catalyst: renewed Hormuz or Gulf-escalation headlines. Why this matters: oil is still the cleanest transmission channel from geopolitics into inflation and cross-asset pricing. Confidence: Medium. Risk warning: a diplomatic headline can reverse the breakout quickly.
2. Gold buy-on-hold above $4,040
   Asset: Gold. Direction: tactical long. Time horizon: session to swing. Entry trigger: price holds $4,040-$4,050 while DXY stays below 101. Invalidation: $4,020. Targets: $4,095, then $4,130. Catalyst: macro hedging demand if yields stop rising. Why this matters: gold remains the cleaner hedge if the equity rebound loses credibility. Confidence: Medium.

10. Trader and Investor Playbook

For short-term traders

• Preferred stance: Selective risk with tight confirmation discipline.
• Stronger-looking assets: oil continuation, tactical gold support, and conditional USDJPY downside.
• Weaker-looking assets: crowded semiconductor beta, unconfirmed Nasdaq chase, and crypto rallies that cannot reclaim key levels.
• Where not to chase: broad U.S. equity beta before semis and breadth confirm.
• Where to wait for better entries: gold near $4,040-$4,050, WTI above $74.20 only on confirmation, and USDJPY rallies into resistance.
• Whether New York is likely to continue, fade, or reverse London: New York has already partly faded the worst London/overnight fear by the time of publish, so the next decision is whether it can continue that relief under Waller and auction risk.
• Risk management: size down around Waller, auction headlines, and any fresh Gulf escalation.

For medium-term investors

• Preferred stance: Selective risk, hedge-aware.
• Stronger-looking assets: high-quality energy cash flow, gold as a hedge, and only the highest-quality U.S. index exposure.
• Weaker-looking assets: pure valuation-driven AI chase, weaker balance-sheet cyclicals, and crypto beta without spot confirmation.
• Where not to chase: any late-session squeeze that occurs without rates calming down.
• Where to wait: index pullbacks that hold higher lows after macro risk passes, or gold dips that do not break structure.
• Core question: this still looks more like a stabilization bounce than a durable macro all-clear.
• Risk management: keep dry powder for Tuesday CPI and the first wave of U.S. bank earnings.

11. Risks and Invalidations

• A new U.S.-Iran or broader Gulf escalation.
• Oil breaking decisively higher and reviving inflation panic.
• Waller sounding more hawkish than the market expects.
