Key arguments

US equities have outperformed European counterparts, with the S&P500 up 12.8% YTD versus EuroStoxx50 up 10.4%, indicating stronger investor confidence in US corporate earnings.
Oil prices have risen sharply (+58.3% YTD) due to supply constraints and geopolitical tensions, causing divergence with gold, which has only gained 2.8% despite its safe-haven appeal.
Bond yields have increased across major economies, with US 10Y at 4.77%, reflecting expectations of persistent inflation and potential rate hikes, which could weigh on equity valuations.
Sector performance shows clear leadership in energy and commodities, while consumption goods (-12.5% in €) and autos (-18.6%) have underperformed, suggesting a shift in consumer spending away from discretionary items.
