🌍 India / Asia Angle

Record S&P 500 highs fuelled by AI optimism could lift sentiment in Asian tech-heavy markets such as Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, and may attract FII inflows into Indian IT and AI-adjacent stocks.

🌊 Ripple Effects

▸US tech/AI sector — bullish, as AI momentum is the primary driver of equity record highs
▸Oil/energy markets — bearish pressure, with lower crude prices easing macro stagflation risk
▸USD and forex — mixed; risk-on rally may weaken safe-haven demand but stronger US growth narrative could support dollar

🔭 What to Watch Next

PRO

▸Oil price trajectory — sustained decline below key support levels would further reduce stagflation risk and support equities
▸Deutsche Bank's Early Morning Reid notes — monitor for any shift in tone on AI valuations or macro risk flags
▸US CPI and Fed policy signals — any upside inflation surprise could reignite stagflation fears and pressure the rally
