Current stance: Markets enter cautious consolidation as volatility stirs. The GMS score sits at 41, pressured by a 7.95% spike in equity volatility (VIX) and a firmer dollar (DXY up 0.48%). In other words, higher hedging costs and dollar strength are dampening risk appetite. However, bond volatility (MOVE at 83.9) remains flat, while credit spreads (SPD tightening to 2.65) indicate healthy corporate debt. Crucially, global liquidity (TLI expanding 0.85%) provides an underlying liquidity cushion. Simply put, the fundamental plumbing of the credit markets has not broken despite tech headwinds. The contrarian risk is that resilient credit conditions spark a rapid relief rally once headline tech panic cools. [MARKET STATUS: NEUTRAL]
