AI Morning Briefing

U.S. equities ended with modest losses as the S&P 500 and Dow slipped, though the Nasdaq managed a slight gain led by tech strength. Oil climbed nearly 1% to $90.60 amid ongoing geopolitical concerns, while bond yields held firm at 5.26% with inflation remaining sticky at 3.71%. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 71, signaling continued investor optimism despite the broad market weakness and elevated Treasury yields.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.26%—if it breaks higher, expect additional pressure on equities and growth stocks; a breach above 5.30% could accelerate today's selloff and signal Fed rate-hold expectations are shifting.
