Equities edged higher across the board with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 all posting modest gains, while the VIX held steady near 19 and the Fear & Greed Index remained neutral at 49. Oil surged 2.14% to $101.30 per barrel, reflecting supply concerns or demand expectations, even as Bitcoin dipped slightly and gold held near $4,704. The 10-year Treasury yield remains anchored at 4.41% with inflation still elevated at 3.32% year-over-year, keeping rate expectations in focus despite stable labor conditions at 4.30% unemployment.
Watch today: Monitor crude oil price action and any supply disruption headlines, as the 2%+ rally today could signal heightened geopolitical or OPEC-related risks that may pressure equities if it accelerates further. This is especially important given the relatively muted equity response and stable yields, suggesting markets haven't fully priced in energy-driven inflation risks.
