Equities posted modest gains today with the Nasdaq 100 leading the charge at +2.35%, while the broader S&P 500 advanced 0.84% and the Dow lagged with a near-flat close. Technology strength contrasted with energy weakness, as crude oil dropped 2.02% while the VIX remained calm at 18.17, suggesting measured risk appetite. The 10-year Treasury yield held steady at 4.36% amid stable inflation readings, with the Fear & Greed Index settling at neutral positioning.
Watch today: Monitor the Nasdaq's sustainability above 29,200 and watch for any reversal in energy prices—crude's 2% drop could signal growth concerns or demand weakness, which would test equities' resilience into the close.
