Snippet: The Middle East continued to dominate market attention in May, as constant, daily, recurring hopes and media leaks and trial balloons for some kind of US-Iran deal meant that Brent crude oil fell -19.3%, marking its biggest monthly decline since March 2020 as the pandemic lockdowns began. Those hopes for an end to the conflict meant that fears about stagflation eased dramatically, which pushed yields lower and supported risk assets as well.

Snippet: Global equity markets have delivered a dramatic start to 2026. A sharp correction in the first quarter was swiftly followed by a V-shaped recovery, underscoring both the fragility and resilience of investor sentiment. Yet, beneath the volatility lies a more constructive story of robust corporate fundamentals. According to LSEG I/B/E/S, 83 percent of S&P500 companies beat earnings expectations in the first quarter of 2026 as of 1 May — a striking testament to underlying earnings strength.
