The cleanest signal today isn’t coming from diplomatic headlines or glossy AI valuations. It’s coming from the bond market, where yields are moving fast enough to threaten the math underneath a very narrow equity rally.

• US-China summit

• Treasury yields reset the market

• Fed transition risk

• AI capex meets higher rates

• Semiconductors and Taiwan exposure

• Narrow rally, fragile breadth

• Options and flow warning signs

• Oil, commodities, and inflation pressure

• What to watch next
