Hawk Talk to Dovish Whispers

Hello All,

As the week has kicked off, initially, fears & or headline-driven hysteria following the U.S. having joined in on the attack of Iran led indices to dip earlier on in the week & then following the retaliation by Iran, it ended up marking the bottom on the indices for the week as the attack more so was an escalate-to-de-escalate for Iran to save-face & then of course came the ceasefire announcement late last night which ended up leading the indices to push higher into today as both Spooz & the Q’s are now inches away from making new ATHs… what a year it’s been.

In April, we wrote about hard assets & the structural framework behind hard assets given recent events & future outlook along with some historical perspective as well… you can check it out below for those whom may have missed.

We also published the follow up educational piece which has been highly requested and majority of the topics covered were all suggested by you all, so I hope you find good benefit.
