Equities edged higher across the board, with the Dow and S&P 500 leading modest gains while the Nasdaq lagged slightly. Bitcoin surged nearly 2% to approach $78,000, while crude oil climbed 1.4% amid broader risk appetite. The Fear & Greed Index sits firmly in greed territory at 65, and the VIX remains subdued at 15.26, suggesting investors are comfortable with current valuations despite persistent inflation at 3.54% and a 4.80% 10-year yield.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield around 4.80% for any break above or below this level, as it could signal shifting expectations for Fed rate cuts and impact both equities and Bitcoin's momentum into the weekend.
