AI Morning Briefing

Equities posted solid gains today with the Nasdaq 100 leading at +1.93%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones climbed more modestly at +0.89% and +0.74% respectively. Energy rallied sharply as crude oil jumped 2.37% to $87.33, though bitcoin slipped slightly and the Fear & Greed Index remains anchored in fear territory at 33. Treasury yields held steady near 4.63% as the market digests a CPI reading of 3.73% against a 4.20% unemployment rate.

Watch today: Monitor crude oil's momentum through $87 — the 2.37% pop signals potential inflation concerns and could pressure bond yields higher if the move sustains, affecting growth stock valuations and the broader equity rally.
