Equities surged today with the Nasdaq 100 leading the charge at +3.32%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones gained 1.79% and 1.71% respectively, signaling broad-based strength despite the Fear & Greed Index remaining in fear territory at 27. Energy markets rallied alongside equities, with WTI crude climbing 2.05%, while the 10-year Treasury yield held steady at 4.63% and inflation remains moderately elevated at 3.73% year-over-year. Cryptocurrencies showed modest gains with Bitcoin up 0.80%, suggesting risk appetite has returned even as volatility remains relatively contained with the VIX at 16.62.
Watch today: Monitor whether this rally sustains into tomorrow and whether the 10-year yield breaks above 4.65%; a sustained push higher in yields could pressure the tech gains that drove today's outperformance, especially given the still-elevated CPI reading of 3.73%.
