Commentary

Market commentary is cautiously constructive: consensus targets sit modestly above the anchor, reflecting expected rate recovery and settlement progress [#SERP-1][#SERP-5]. Near-term sentiment is sensitive to earnings and regulatory headlines, which drive outsized negative moves on adverse news [#SERP-3].
