global financial markets displayed notable resilience, navigating a complex macroeconomic backdrop characterized by stubborn wholesale inflation prints and elevated geopolitical tensions.

Commodities staged a broad rally as crude oil surged over 2.5% to $96.25 per barrel and spot gold climbed above $4,190 per ounce. U.S. equities closed predominantly higher, led by a strong 556-point surge in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while blue-chip industrial and financial sectors offset lingering weakness across high-valuation technology names.
