Cross-market & !QAZ’s verdict
!QAZ(Chair): Macro indicators present a mixed picture, with high volatility readings contrasting against deep bearish signals in credit and inflation. The divergence between the bullish reading in volatility and the bearish readings across credit and inflation suggests underlying structural tension. On balance, the market appears to be digesting conflicting signals, leading to a cautious, range-seeking tape.
