Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 19th April 2026.

The week ending 19 April delivered a third consecutive week of gains for global equity markets, with several major indices reaching record highs as the geopolitical backdrop continued to improve — albeit against a backdrop of ongoing uncertainty over the durability of any resolution to the Middle East conflict.

The week's defining moment came on Friday, when Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz completely open to commercial vessels following a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

US equities led the advance.

European markets joined the rally, with Germany's DAX gaining 3.77% and France's CAC 40 adding 2.0%.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 gained 2.73% and touched a new all-time high.

On the macro data front, US producer prices rose at a slower-than-expected pace in March, with core PPI particularly subdued.

The VIX closed below 20, approaching pre-conflict levels.

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 12th April 2026.

The week ending 12 April was defined by a single watershed moment: the announcement late on Tuesday of a conditional two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, which unleashed the most powerful single-session risk rally seen in approximately a year.

The S&P 500 surged 2.5% on Wednesday — its best one-day performance in around twelve months — while the Dow climbed 2.9%, the Russell 2000 gained 3.0%, and international equities rallied 3.5%.

The ceasefire's terms — contingent on Iran agreeing to a complete, immediate, and safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — had an immediate and dramatic effect on energy markets.

Fixed income markets offered a more measured verdict.

Credit markets told a more constructive story.

Currency markets underwent a notable reversal.

Despite the relief rally, the mood by Friday remained cautious.

Looking ahead, attention turns to first-quarter earnings season, with major US banks reporting imminently.
