The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have reached new all-time highs, driven by a broad-based relief rally as the acute panic in the bond market subsides. European markets followed suit, with the FTSE 100 and DAX posting gains as yields retreated from their previous peaks. This shift marks a significant de-escalation in financial stress, allowing risk assets to resume their upward trajectory. The market is now pricing in a 'risk-on' environment, although the underlying geopolitical tensions remain a persistent, latent risk.
