Equities surged across the board this morning, with the Dow leading the charge at +1.84% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 gained over 1% each, signaling broad-based strength despite the Fear & Greed Index sitting at extreme fear levels. Crude oil collapsed 7.18%, reflecting softer demand concerns, while Bitcoin climbed nearly 3% on positive momentum. Treasury yields held steady at 4.25% as investors digest a CPI reading of 3.32% and unemployment at 4.30%, neither suggesting immediate policy shifts.
Watch today: Monitor crude oil's continued weakness below $85—if it breaks down further, energy sector gains may face headwinds that could temper today's broader rally. Watch for any reaction in growth stocks if bond yields begin climbing.
