"April's 10.49% S&P recovery was driven by ceasefire relief and AI earnings validation, with hyperscalers confirming $710B capex cycle. Asia led with Korea up 38%, Taiwan 26%."
April delivered a sharp reversal of March losses as a fragile US-Iran ceasefire triggered risk-on sentiment. The S&P 500 gained 10.49%, its best month since November 2020, while the Nasdaq surged 15.29%. The AI earnings season reframed technology as a fundamental story rather than positioning trade, with hyperscalers confirming $710 billion in 2026 capex and capacity constraints limiting growth. Asia ex-Japan led globally with South Korea up 38% and Taiwan 26%, rewarding funds that maintained exposure through March's drawdown. However, the recovery masked persistent risks. Oil rebounded to $105 in the final week, the Fed saw unprecedented dissent with four members opposing easing bias, and AI infrastructure spending adds structural inflation pressure. Hedge funds rebuilt risk rapidly, with gross leverage hitting all-time highs at 350%, but began selective reduction post-earnings. The month demonstrated that while positioning squeezes can reverse quickly, fundamental macro tensions around inflation, geopolitics, and monetary policy remain unresolved.
