AI Morning Briefing

Equities declined across the board with the Nasdaq 100 leading losses at -1.49%, while the S&P 500 and Dow fell more modestly. The VIX remains contained near 18, but the Fear & Greed Index has shifted into fear territory at 29, reflecting underlying sentiment concerns. Treasury yields hold steady at 4.54% amid persistent inflation at 3.73%, while crude oil dropped 2.49% and Bitcoin showed relative resilience with only -0.33% movement.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield closely for any break above 4.60%, as a sustained climb could accelerate equity weakness given the 3.73% sticky inflation reading. This will be critical to watch alongside any Fed commentary today that might signal future rate path expectations.
