Equities have stayed near record territory, keeping the broader bull regime intact, though risk appetite continues to erode. The VIX pushed further to 15.30, up 5.30% today, as Iran's nuclear-deal prospects dimmed further and Israel-Hezbollah clashes flared. The Nikkei's overnight surge cooled to 1.26% from its sharper prior gain, while Treasury yields held just under the 4.8% threshold strategists have flagged all month.
