The report provides a weekly update on key investment themes, focusing on the US-Iran geopolitical situation, Fed policy expectations, and equity market resilience amid high issuance.

Key Takeaways

• 1.A US-Iran deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz reduces energy price inflation risks, supporting a positive equity outlook.
