Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 17th May 2026.  

This week delivered a sharp reminder that the path back to market normality remains uneven.  

The week opened on a constructive note, with the S&P 500 hitting a new all-time high on Monday as technology stocks advanced, even as the White House confirmed it had rejected Iran’s latest diplomatic proposal over the weekend.  

The macro picture continues to diverge sharply by geography.  

In Japan, the Nikkei declined modestly as semiconductor stocks gave back some recent gains, while the 10-year Japanese government bond yield rose to 2.72% — its highest level since 1997 — reflecting growing conviction that the Bank of Japan is approaching its next rate hike.  

That’s all for this week’s Titan International Weekly Podcast.
