Before the news, oil and risk assets were moving in near-perfect opposition, signaling heightened geopolitical sensitivity. Now, markets are attempting to hold above the 200-day moving average\u2014a critical technical level that could define the next trend. The big question: will the ceasefire hold, and will oil confirm the market\u2019s optimism? With earnings season approaching, potential buybacks ahead, and improving seasonality, the backdrop is turning more constructive\u2014but fragile. If markets maintain support above the 200-DMA, upside participation increases. If not, risk management becomes key. For now, oil remains the signal to watch\u2014and the durability of peace talks may determine everything that follows.
