📊 Risk Appetite Rebuilding?

Good Morning Investors,

Optimism around a potential easing in Middle East tensions, combined with expectations of a more accommodative Federal Reserve stance, is driving the shift back into equities. This is allowing capital to rotate quickly into small companies, which tend to outperform during early phases of risk on sentiment.

Underlying risks remain. Analysts continue to flag funding pressure in AI-related names and persistent volatility in semiconductors, both of which could quickly reverse gains.

Bottom line: breadth and momentum are strong, with clear leadership in mining, semiconductors, and biotech.The sustainability of the move depends heavily on macro follow through. Without confirmation from geopolitics and policy, this rally remains vulnerable to sharp reversals and headline driven volatility.
