Cross-market & !QAZ’s verdict
!QAZ(Chair): The divergence between commodities/inflation strength and credit weakness is notable. While macro indicators suggest underlying inflationary pressure and commodity strength, the broader market sentiment, particularly in credit, suggests caution. The cross-market picture is one of divergence, where certain asset classes show strong directional conviction while others remain range-bound.
