Previous phase:
Escalation fears, oil shock, inflation pressure
Current phase:
Contained risk, oil stabilization, equity resilience
Reality:
Markets have shifted from pricing extreme downside scenarios to pricing controlled conditions.
However, this represents less negative conditions — not a fully positive environment.
Final Takeaway
Three key messages:
- Geopolitics remains a primary market driver
- Oil near $100 continues to anchor the macro outlook
- Markets are stable, but conviction remains limited
Markets are not pricing a recovery —
they are pricing resilience under pressure.
