⚡ SUGGESTED ACTION

This is a tactical relief rally driven by geopolitical de-escalation, not fundamental economic strength. Caution: postponement is not cancellation—tail risks remain. Consider taking profits on Treasury longs and monitoring for renewed escalation signals. Energy sector upside may be limited if oil remains pressured.
