U.S. equities slipped across the board, with the Nasdaq 100 leading declines at -1.29% while the S&P 500 and Dow fell roughly 0.7–0.8%, suggesting tech weakness outpacing the broader market. The VIX remains subdued at 16.51 despite selling pressure, and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 63 (Greed), indicating investors haven't shifted to defensive positioning. Inflation remains sticky at 3.54% YoY with the 10-year yield holding firm at 4.80%, while energy and crypto weakness—oil down 1.04% and Bitcoin off 2.01%—reflect softer risk appetite.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year yield and Fed signals closely; at 4.80%, yields are resisting a breakdown despite equity weakness, which could signal conviction that rate cuts may stall given persistent inflation. If yields spike further or equities accelerate lower today, it may confirm a shift from 'higher for longer' acceptance to recession concerns.
