Daily Synthesis
Markets found their footing as volatility fears subsided and digital assets reclaimed leadership, with miners and semiconductors joining the rotation out of defensive positioning. The divergence between staples strength and metals weakness suggests selective rather than broad-based risk appetite. Tomorrow's setup favors continuation of the crypto-led recovery theme while commodities face further technical pressure.
