AI Morning Briefing

Markets showed mixed signals today with the S&P 500 essentially flat while the Dow gained 0.51%, suggesting a rotation toward value stocks. The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.32% as tech faced headwinds, while the Fear & Greed Index remained in fear territory at 29. Bitcoin dropped 2.70% to $63,399, and crude oil declined slightly, though the 10-year Treasury yield held steady at 4.64% with inflation persisting at 3.73%.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year yield for any break above 4.65% ahead of this week's economic calendar; a sustained move higher could pressure growth stocks further and reinforce the tech underperformance seen today.
