Equinix points to smaller facilities as scrutiny of U.S. data center construction grows and more — today's fund signal.
Global markets are bracing for potential shocks from rising geopolitical tensions and a slowdown in growth. The ongoing scrutiny of US data center construction has Equinix shifting its focus to smaller facilities, while Cloudflare's stock is staging a comeback after reporting its fastest sales surge in nearly four years. Meanwhile, renewed tensions between the US and Iran are threatening to drive oil prices past $100, according to Rapidan Energy.
As investors seek refuge from market volatility, some are turning to emerging markets like India, which could see robust inflows into its stocks as a hedge against global turmoil. The country's appeal as a safe haven is being put to the test, however, as investors also keep a close eye on US domestic politics, including the highly contested Mississippi Senate election, where Democrat Scott Colom narrowly leads Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. The outcome of the election could have implications for the US policy landscape, adding to the uncertainty already roiling global markets.
