## Resource

Markets remain resilient despite oil supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions, with investors focusing on strong earnings and a steady consumer backdrop. Plus, technical momentum and concentrated gains in tech and energy continue to support the rally. Later, policy uncertainty, inflation pressures, and volatility in energy markets keep risks elevated for growth and sentiment.
