Titan Wealth Weekly Market Update - Monday 11th August

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 10th August 2025. 

The US technology stock index surged to fresh record highs this week, driven by investor reaction to key developments, including interest rate announcements from the Bank of England, the expiration of the US tariff pause, and strong corporate earnings from some of the US' largest companies.

On Thursday, the Bank of England (BoE) opted to cut UK interest rates by a quarter point, marking its fifth reduction in just 12 months. 

Across the Atlantic, the expiry of the US tariff pause on August 7 saw tariffs on most US trading partners rise from the previous 10% baseline established in April. 

Earnings season is winding down, with the so-called 'Magnificent 7' – seven mega-cap stocks – continuing to drive a disproportionately large share of overall second-quarter earnings growth. 

Over the week US equities rose by 2.4%, with the technology sector leading the charge, gaining 3.9% on the back of robust corporate earnings. 

Meanwhile, OPEC and its allies agreed to a further output increase of 547,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 0.5% of global crude supply.
