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.
