📊 Markets Roar: Miners +4.6%

Good Morning Investors,

Macro risks remain firmly in focus. Persistent inflation pressures and the possibility of additional interest rate hikes could tighten financial conditions for smaller companies that depend on external financing. Trade policy also remains an important variable, with proposed tariffs, including those targeting pharmaceuticals, capable of reshaping supply chains and corporate profitability. Tighter private equity financing conditions could slow acquisition activity and reduce exit opportunities for businesses.

Leadership remains concentrated in sectors with clear structural tailwinds. Mining, semiconductors, and AI related technology continue attracting the largest inflows, while broader market participation remains more selective. Investors should continue monitoring inflation data, Federal Reserve communication, and trade policy developments, as each has the potential to quickly influence valuations and risk appetite.
