AI Morning Briefing

Equities extended gains this session with the Dow leading the charge at +0.93%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 posted more modest advances. Oil surged 2% on supply concerns, and the Fear & Greed Index remains elevated at 74, suggesting investor appetite persists despite mixed signals from cryptocurrencies and persistent inflation at 3.71%. Treasury yields held firm at 5.18% as the market balanced growth momentum against lingering rate expectations.

Watch today: Monitor oil's continued strength above $96 and watch whether the elevated Fear & Greed reading sustains or reverses; a pullback here could signal profit-taking before any economic data this week that might challenge the current risk-on sentiment.
