Bullish for the S&P 500

Updated 14 October 2026
The bullish argument: Market participants note that reduced geopolitical tension from West Asia uncertainty has supported a risk-on environment and contributed to equity gains, with lower tail-risk premiums allowing investors to take on more market exposure. This reflects a normalization of geopolitical risk pricing.
