Equities have stayed near record territory, keeping the broader bull regime intact, though risk appetite continues to erode. The Nikkei swung back to +2.12% overnight after last session's sharp reversal, while the VIX extended its climb to 15.73, its third straight daily gain. Copper hit fresh record highs and GE Aerospace's $12 billion CPP deal underscored continued industrial dealmaking as the 10-year yield pushed to 4.81% ahead of Friday's CPI.
