Central banks adopted a more defensive stance amid persistent inflation and weakening growth dynamics, particularly in Europe where stagflation concerns intensified. While the U.S. economy remained comparatively resilient, supported by AI-driven investment, business sentiment softened across major regions and geopolitical tensions surrounding Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict continued to drive volatility.<\/p><p data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"1207\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Risk assets rebounded over the month following signs of a fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, with investor appetite returning strongly to AI and semiconductor-related equities. U.S. and Asian markets outperformed, emerging markets delivered particularly strong gains, and earnings momentum remained supportive across key sectors.

Commodities remained highly volatile amid changing geopolitical risk premiums, and cryptocurrencies advanced on renewed institutional demand.<\/p><p dir=\"auto\"><strong data-start=\"1595\"
