AI Morning Briefing

Equities pulled back modestly across all major indices, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq 100 each declining roughly 0.3% as the Fear & Greed Index signals investor caution at 27. Energy markets outperformed with WTI crude jumping 1.9%, while Bitcoin and gold held relatively flat amid persistent inflation pressures, with CPI at 3.73% and the 10-year yield anchored at 4.68%.

Watch today: Monitor crude oil's strength and any geopolitical headlines that might fuel further gains—energy sector outperformance amid broad equity weakness often signals shifting economic expectations. Watch for any Fed speakers today that could influence the yield curve and ease the current fear sentiment.
