Markets are trading a lot of hope at once: a possible Iran de-escalation, an AI capex boom, and the idea that inflation can stay sticky without breaking the rally. The problem is most of those assumptions still need proof.

• US-Iran ceasefire and oil

• Core PCE and the Fed split

• Consumer strain and credit stress

• Semiconductor rally and AI pricing pressure

• Snowflake, platform winners, and valuation

• Private markets, IPO supply, and SpaceX

• Trading behavior and portfolio posture

• Enterprise AI security and monetization
