Ameriprise sees fragile <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO">Q2</a> outlook as Iran oil shock drives higher-for-longer rates
  • Ameriprise flagged a more fragile, policy-sensitive market setup for Q2 as Middle East conflict triggered an energy shock, higher-for-longer Fed expectations, and narrower equity leadership.
  • S&P 500 fell 4.3% in Q1, NASDAQ dropped 7%, while Energy surged more than 38% amid oil disruption tied to Strait of Hormuz shipping constraints.
  • WTI briefly traded above USD 119 per barrel, ending Q1 up nearly 77% as roughly 20 million barrels per day of crude and refined products were removed from global trade flows.
  • Rate markets repriced toward an extended Fed hold, with no cuts priced until 2027 by quarter-end; 2-year Treasury yield rose 32 basis points in Q1.
  • Ameriprise pointed to intact earnings momentum and compressed tech valuations as potential equity support, while warning reaccelerating inflation with core PCE back above 3% could keep volatility elevated.
