The Quick Take
- US stock markets hit record highs again under the Trump administration, with the bull market extending despite stubborn inflation that had previously threatened to derail equity momentum through higher-for-longer rate expectations.
- The renewed record highs suggest markets are increasingly pricing in the Iran deal scenario โ where peace-driven oil price declines resolve the inflation constraint and create the conditions for Fed rate cuts and continued equity appreciation.
- The disconnect between record stock market levels and persistent inflation creates an unusual macro backdrop where equities are leading rather than following inflation resolution, betting on a soft landing delivered by geopolitical rather than monetary policy.
