Markets opened the week with mixed signals as investors weighed fresh inflation prints against a steadier tone in European equities. Our desk notes that liquidity remained adequate across primary fund channels, though volatility picked up briefly around mid-week data releases.

For allocators with exposure to dollar assets, currency moves continued to matter at the margin. We continue to monitor how policy expectations feed through to short-term rates and, by extension, to private market fundraising timelines.
