AI Morning Briefing

Equities extended gains with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both climbing over 0.6%, driven by a risk-on sentiment reflected in the Fear & Greed Index's elevated greed reading at 73. Crude oil declined 2.38% to $87.61, suggesting softer demand expectations, while Treasury yields held steady at 5.31% amid stable inflation and employment data. Bitcoin remained subdued near $86,200, indicating crypto participants are taking a measured stance despite the broader equity rally.

Watch today: Monitor crude oil's technical support around $85–$86 as the 2.38% drop could signal weakening global demand; a break below could pressure energy stocks and risk sentiment heading into tomorrow's trading session.
