Cross-market & !QAZ’s verdict
!QAZ(Chair): The data presents a divergence where commodities and FX lean strongly bullish, while volatility suggests underlying bearishness. The macro picture indicates cooling inflation is a notable factor, supporting the dollar’s movement to a one-month low. On balance, the market structure suggests caution amidst sector-specific strength.
