隨著中東緊張局勢緩解，全球市場回穩
As of mid-April 2026, global markets are seeing a "relief rally" after a period of intense volatility.
截至2026年4月中旬，全球市場在經歷了一段劇烈波動後，出現了所謂的「喘息性反彈」(ㄔㄨㄢˇㄒㄧˊㄒㄧㄥˋㄈㄢˇㄊㄢˇ)。

這種轉變發生在中東地區、特別是荷莫茲海峽局勢緊張數週之後。
Because nearly 20% of the world's oil supply passes through this chokepoint, regional instability caused energy prices to spike, with Brent crude reaching $118 per barrel in March.
由於全球近20%的石油供應皆經過這個關鍵的隘口，區域不穩定導致能源價格飆漲，布蘭特原油在3月一度達到每桶118美元。
This jump fueled inflation, driving it from 2.4% to 3.4% and complicating plans for central banks to cut interest rates.
此漲勢加劇了通貨膨脹，使其從2.4%攀升至3.4%，也讓各國央行原定的降息計畫變得棘手。
Consequently, March was a tough month for stocks, with the S&P 500 suffering its worst loss in a year.
因此，3月對股市而言相當艱困，標普500指數創下一年來最慘重的跌幅。
While markets have rebounded on hopes of a ceasefire, the situation remains fragile.
儘管市場因停火希望而回升，但情勢依然脆弱。

For now, the U.S. dollar remains a safe haven, but the global economy is still balancing on a knife-edge.
目前美元仍被視為避風港，但全球經濟仍處於險境。
