AI Morning Briefing

Nasdaq outperformed with a 1.10% gain while the Dow essentially flatlined, reflecting a significant divergence in market breadth despite broad S&P 500 strength at +0.38%. The Fear & Greed Index sits in extreme fear territory at 25, yet equities remain resilient and Bitcoin surged 2.82%, suggesting contrarian positioning ahead of sticky inflation at 3.73% YoY. Treasury yields hold firm at 4.58% as markets digest mixed signals between economic momentum and persistent price pressures.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield around 4.58%—a break higher could pressure valuations while a dip might trigger rotation from growth to value. This technical level is critical given the extreme fear reading and will heavily influence whether today's tech strength holds into the close.
