Cross-market & !QAZ’s verdict
!QAZ(Chair): The market exhibits a divergence where underlying macro indicators, particularly liquidity and credit, suggest significant strain, contrasting with improving trends in crypto and Korean equities. The strength noted in materials, coupled with heightened geopolitical trade tensions, suggests underlying sector rotation dynamics are active. On balance, the tape reflects caution amid conflicting signals across asset classes.
