AI Morning Briefing

Equities traded flat with the S&P 500 essentially unchanged and the Dow edging down 0.31%, while the Nasdaq held steady despite the broad hesitation. Bitcoin gained 1.67% to $84,918 as crypto showed resilience, though traditional safe havens like oil and yields remained under modest pressure. The Fear & Greed Index sits firmly in greed territory at 71, suggesting risk appetite persists despite mixed directional signals across major indices.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.16% and the CPI print at 3.71%—inflation remains sticky above the Fed's target, and any fresh economic data could trigger a repricing in rate expectations. Watch whether equities can stabilize or roll over as the market recalibrates to persistent inflation pressure.
