This past week, markets were heavily influenced by geopolitical events in the Middle East, just not in the way many might have expected

In short:

Fed Officials Signal Openness to Rate Cuts: Comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials hinted at potential rate cuts by July if inflation remains contained and labour market softness continues.

Europe Shows Early Signs of Stabilisation: European PMI data improved modestly, especially in Germany, lifting the composite index just above 50 — a tentative sign of growth returning.
