Markets edged higher in modest gains, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq all posting small advances in a neutral sentiment environment. Crude oil sold off sharply, declining over 3% to $96.92, signaling demand concerns or easing geopolitical tensions. The VIX holds steady at 18.27 while the Fear & Greed Index sits at neutral, suggesting investors remain cautious but not overly stressed.
Watch today: Monitor crude's next support level and watch for any demand-side signals from economic data, as the sharp oil decline could indicate shifting growth expectations that may weigh on energy stocks and broader market momentum.
