AI Morning Briefing

U.S. equities slipped modestly across all major indices, with the Nasdaq underperforming at -0.82% as tech absorbed the largest selloff. Despite the decline, the VIX remains subdued at 17.06 and the Fear & Greed Index signals continued greed at 69, suggesting market participants view weakness as minor rather than structural. Treasury yields hold firm above 4.95% while inflation persists at 3.71%, keeping rate-cut expectations constrained and supporting defensive positioning.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield through the 4.95–5.00% range; a break above 5% could trigger broader equity pressure, while a dip below 4.95% might signal flight-to-safety and relief for growth stocks. This level is the key pivot for Fed rate expectations and equity multiples today.
