A sharp and unexpected rally has gripped equity markets, leaving many investors chasing momentum while quietly questioning its foundation. Spurred by temporary relief in U.S.–China trade tensions, coupled with economic resilience and fading volatility, the uptrend in global stocks has caught under-positioned players off guard. However, with few concrete data points backing the surge and risk appetite returning unevenly, the bullish momentum may be walking a tightrope. Alex van den Berg, senior strategist at Horizon28, explores the precarious mechanics of this rebound, the psychology behind investor hesitation, and what it may signal for the months ahead.

Redrawing the AI Map: U.S. Overhauls Chip Export Rules Amid Geopolitical Pressure
In a dramatic shift of U.S. trade and technology strategy, the current administration has rescinded the Biden-era AI diffusion rule, a broad regulatory framework governing global access to advanced American-made AI chips. The move, led by the Commerce Department, signals a pivot toward bilateral chip access negotiations and tighter restrictions targeting China. This policy reversal—applauded by key tech firms like Nvidia and Oracle—has broad implications for the AI supply chain, global semiconductor distribution, and U.S. diplomatic leverage. Liam Gerald, a financial analyst at Horizon28, explores how this rewrite may reshape the AI hardware landscape and the geopolitical forces shaping it....

Trade Thaw Sparks Market Heat: U.S. Retailers and Manufacturers Rebound on Tariff Relief
Markets don’t always wait for certainty—sometimes, even a temporary pause can fuel a major rally. The recently announced 90-day tariff truce between the U.S. and China has triggered a wave of investor enthusiasm, particularly across consumer and manufacturing sectors previously burdened by steep trade duties. With tariffs now reduced from 145% to 30% on U.S. imports from China, and China reciprocating with a drop from 125% to 10%, a handful of companies are seeing their share prices climb fast. Financial expert Mia Moore from Maverix Global explores what this short-term reprieve means for retail giants, manufacturers, and the broader stock...
