HSBC's Max Kettner indicates that markets have triggered a buy signal following a significant reset in positioning, particularly among heavily hedged investors. While sentiment and technical indicators show improvement across equities and credit markets, he warns that a hot core CPI could push U.S. 10-year Treasury yields toward a critical 4.5% threshold, posing risks to risk assets. The current environment suggests a potential near-term bottom for equities, but the margin for error is thin, and rising inflation could lead to renewed pressure across asset classes.

- HSBC's chief multi-asset strategist Max Kettner indicates a potential near-term bottom in equity markets, supported by improved sentiment and positioning after a positioning reset.  
- While the current market conditions show bullish momentum across various asset classes, Kettner warns that a significant increase in U.S. core CPI could push the 10-year Treasury yields into the "danger zone" of 4.5%, which historically pressures risk assets.  
- The outlook is cautious, as limited margins for error in yield movements could lead to renewed pressures across equities, credit, and emerging markets if inflation surprises on the upside.
