Equities surged across the board today, with the Dow Jones leading gains at +1.88% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 each climbed roughly 1.2%, supported by a cooling inflation signal at 3.32% YoY. The sharp 7.3% drop in crude oil prices alleviated energy cost pressures and lifted sentiment despite the Fear & Greed Index still sitting in extreme fear territory at 21. Bitcoin extended its rally with a +3.53% jump, signaling risk appetite in crypto markets even as the 10-year yield held firm at 4.24% and unemployment remained steady at 4.30%.
Watch today: Monitor crude oil's next support level and whether today's decline reflects genuine demand softening or temporary supply shifts—a sustained move below $80 could signal economic headwinds despite equity enthusiasm, and may pressure energy stocks' momentum.
