US equity markets surged to fresh record levels in early July, driven by a confluence of easing geopolitical tensions and robust corporate earnings.
The rally saw the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all breach previous peaks, signaling a decisive shift in investor sentiment after a period of volatility.
President Donald Trump hailed the market performance as evidence of a broader economic revival in the United States.

The divergence suggests a structural rotation in global liquidity, with investors seeking safer, higher-growth environments amid Beijing’s tightening stance.
