European equity markets are expected to have another mixed session on Tuesday, but the easing of turbulence in the metals and oil markets and the slight rise in some Asian indices could limit the declines. At 7:40 a.m., the CAC 40 futures contract was down 2.8 points, or 0.04%, according to data from broker IG Markets. The DAX 30 contract was down 8.5 points, or 0.1%, and the FTSE 100 contract was down 7.8 points, or 0.1%. The New York Stock Exchange closed in a contrasting fashion on Monday, after the new records reached on Friday at the close. The spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus, profit-taking and Goldman Sachs' downward revision of its growth forecasts in China have shaken investor confidence on Wall Street. However, the three main indices remain close to their all-time highs. In Asia, equity markets presented a mixed picture on Tuesday. At the end of the session, the Nikkei index of the Tokyo Stock Exchange gained 0.2% and the Hang Seng index rose 0.3% in Hong Kong, while the Shanghai Composite lost 0.1%.

US Treasury yields edged down Tuesday morning, after rising on Monday following the release of a record number of U.S. vacancies in June, reflecting the strength of the labor market despite concerns persistent regarding the spread of the Delta variant. At 7:20 a.m., the yield on the benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury bond fell to 1.315%, after closing Monday at 1.323%.

The euro is stable Tuesday morning against the dollar and the yen. The greenback is also unchanged against the Japanese currency. After better-than-expected employment figures and good ISM indices released in the United States last week, September "could be a turning point for the dollar and foreign exchange markets," JPMorgan said. Restrictive comments by two Federal Reserve (Fed) governors have challenged the idea that a keyly accommodative monetary policy committee (FOMC) will keep the restrictive minority out, the bank added. According to ING, the dollar is expected to rise only in a limited way in the short term, even if the Fed makes a restrictive speech during the meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, scheduled for August 26-28. The Fed will likely discuss a reduction in its bond purchases at Jackson Hole, which should underpin forecasts that it will begin tightening monetary policy in early 2023 or even late 2022, ING analysts say. "We favor the scenario of a strong recovery of the dollar six months before the first tightening, in the second quarter of 2022."

Oil prices are trying to recover on Tuesday morning, after ending Monday's session down more than 2% as China took additional measures to limit the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, fueling fears about the level of global crude demand. According to Oanda, as inventories remain tight, further pressure on oil prices could be limited. The price of WTI has a strong support at $ 65 per barrel, but if this level is crossed, a downward spiral could start in the absence of new support before $ 60. At 7:15 a.m., the October contract on North Sea Brent was gaining 36 cents, at $69.40 a barrel. The September contract for light sweet crude (WTI) listed on the Nymex was up 53 cents, at $67.01 a barrel.
