U.S. equities retreated modestly across all major indices, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 each declining between 0.4% and 0.6%, while the Fear & Greed Index dropped to 32 signaling investor caution. Bitcoin bucked the trend with a 2.1% gain, and crude oil climbed 1.2% to $90.34, suggesting some rotation toward alternative assets and energy strength. The 10-year Treasury yield holds steady at 4.29% as inflation remains sticky at 3.32% year-over-year, keeping rate-cut expectations muted despite a 4.3% unemployment rate.
Watch today: Monitor crude oil and energy sector momentum—the 1.2% jump in WTI amid broader equity weakness may signal supply concerns or geopolitical tensions that could drive larger market rotations. Watch if this persists into tomorrow's trading to gauge whether inflation pressures are re-emerging.
