WS #6057

The dominant signal in this window is the escalation of geopolitical tensions following an assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which has triggered a spike in oil prices (Brent above $107, WTI above $96) and a flight to safe havens. This event, corroborated by multiple sources (La Rioja, ANSA, GDELT), overshadows all other news. The attack has led to the cancellation of US envoy trips for Iran peace talks, further tightening oil supply concerns. Meanwhile, a separate development shows Nvidia's market cap closing above $5 trillion for the first time, signaling continued AI-driven tech strength despite macro headwinds. The central bank 'super week' (Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE, BOC) is approaching, with markets expecting rate holds but watching for inflation guidance amid oil price shocks. The Iran ceasefire proposal narrative is now de-escalating as diplomatic channels are disrupted by the assassination attempt.
