Macro (rates/inflation) still decides when investors can stretch valuations; commodities and platform software provide sector-level pockets of conviction. April 24, 2026

Markets remained guided by Fed expectations and rate moves. Two Fed-related headlines — signals around holding rates steady and the DOJ dropping the Powell probe — removed political and policy uncertainty that had been denting sentiment, but the rate backdrop still determines which sector rallies can stick. Energy moved on supply/demand and geopolitical cues as oil eased on expected direct U.S.–Iran talks; that dynamic keeps commodity-exposed cyclicals in play. Software leadership stayed concentrated in high-quality platforms that combine durable cash generation with credible AI or workflow upgrade stories.

Asthi Research is general market commentary, not personalized investment advice. Public digests cite source coverage and become more useful when signed-in investors map themes back to their own holdings.
