Equities pulled back modestly across the board, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all declining between 0.36% and 0.57%, while the Fear & Greed Index tilted toward fear at 39. Bitcoin bucked the trend with a 1.04% gain, suggesting some rotation into risk assets despite broader equity weakness. Oil slipped 1.43% as treasury yields held firm at 4.32%, with inflation remaining sticky at 3.32% year-over-year against a 4.30% unemployment rate.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year treasury yield as it approaches or holds the 4.32% level—if it breaks higher, it could pressure equities further, especially growth stocks. Watch for any intraday reversals in tech, as the Nasdaq's 0.57% decline suggests nervousness ahead of potential Fed commentary or upcoming economic data.
