๐Ÿ“Š Market Update โ€“ Stocks Lifted by Intel, but the Geopolitical Overhang Has Not Gone Away US futures pushed higher overnight after Intel jumped ~19% on a strong sales forecast, extending a 17-day run in semiconductors. At the same time, oil stayed elevated and the Strait of Hormuz is still effectively closed, with US-Iran talks making little visible progress. This is a market happy to trade on the micro (earnings) while the macro (energy, geopolitics) quietly continues. For our portfolio, nothing changes: โ€ฃ Energy and defence stay core because the shock is not yet priced out. โ€ฃ Precious metals and bonds remain our foundation. โ€ฃ Cash is still optionality, not drag. One strong chip print does not resolve a closed shipping lane. We stay disciplined. Patience & discipline, Heloรฏse (24 April 2026) _________________________________________________________ *๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฌ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด.
