U.S. equities posted modest gains despite mixed sentiment, with the S&P 500 rising 0.12% while the Dow slipped 0.13%, reflecting sector rotation away from blue chips. Crude oil surged 2.14% to near $97.50 amid geopolitical concerns, while Bitcoin fell 2.89%, signaling risk-off tones in crypto despite broader stock resilience. The Fear & Greed Index remains in fear territory at 33, and with CPI holding steady at 3.32% and 10-year yields at 4.34%, markets appear to be digesting persistent inflation and rate expectations.
Watch today: Monitor crude oil's next resistance around $98 and watch for any spillover into energy stocks; a sustained break above $98 could signal supply concerns intensifying, which would pressure consumer staples and equities more broadly.
