Una tesi macro nella tua inbox ogni domenica. Niente fuffa.
Markets traded in narrow ranges today, but beneath the surface calm lie three developing currents: Fed speakers hinting at extended pause despite soft data, energy complex consolidating near key technical levels as geopolitical risk premiums compress, and institutional month-end rebalancing flows building into Friday's close.
