Relief over easing Gulf tensions and falling oil prices has given risk assets a fresh tailwind, but the backdrop of sticky U.S. inflation and higher-for-longer rates keeps the runway short. Stocks and crypto both lean risk-on, with small caps and Bitcoin showing renewed life while more speculative corners lag. The coming week is less about set-piece data and more about whether yields, oil, and Fed commentary quietly reprice the narrative back toward inflation risk. This is a good environment to upgrade quality and tighten plans, not to chase whatever rallied hardest last week.
