Market Pulse

Risk assets head into the week on the back foot as investors shift from an AI euphoria narrative to a stickier inflation, higher‑for‑longer reality, with tech leaders suddenly framed as the epicenter of the bear case. Geopolitical tension in the Middle East and new frictions around the Strait of Hormuz are keeping oil and inflation risk elevated just as key U.S. price data loom. Crypto has rolled over alongside growth stocks, with speculative tokens hit hardest, putting a premium on owning quality and being deliberate about where to deploy fresh capital. The opportunity this week is less about chasing moves and more about using any forced de‑risking around inflation and yield spikes to selectively upgrade into durable themes while cutting dead weight.
