AI Morning Briefing

U.S. equities finished mixed as the S&P 500 and Dow retreated modestly while Nasdaq remained flat, reflecting sector rotation pressures despite elevated greed sentiment. Oil climbed 1.13% to near $88 amid supply concerns, while Treasury yields held firm at 4.76% as inflation remains sticky at 3.54% year-over-year. Bitcoin and crypto assets pulled back slightly, though volatility gauges stayed relatively calm with the VIX holding in the mid-15s.

Watch today: Monitor 10-year Treasury yield behavior tomorrow; if it breaks above 4.80%, it signals renewed inflation concerns that could pressure both equities and crypto. This matters because sticky CPI at 3.54% combined with strong oil suggests the Fed's rate-cut window may be narrowing faster than markets priced in.
