Equities showed mixed performance with the Nasdaq 100 surging 1.76% while the Dow declined slightly, reflecting renewed appetite for growth stocks despite the Fear & Greed Index signaling extreme fear at 25. The S&P 500 gained 0.61% as investors digested sticky inflation at 3.95% YoY and a stable 4.49% 10-year yield, while crude oil and Bitcoin both retreated on demand concerns. The divergence between tech strength and cyclical weakness suggests market participants are rotating defensively while hunting for secular growth opportunities.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield closely; if it breaks above 4.50%, it could trigger a rotation out of the Nasdaq's rate-sensitive mega-caps and amplify the current growth-versus-value tension despite today's tech rally.
