This dynamic often accompanies geopolitical risk-driven rate relief and can lift broad indices when inflation expectations cool. Past episodes show equities rally when 10-year yields retreat while inflation remains contained, though oil, payrolls, and PMI surprises can cap gains if inflation fears re-emerge.
