AI Morning Briefing

U.S. equities posted modest gains across all major indices this morning, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 all climbing between 0.48% and 0.58%, supported by a Fear & Greed reading deep in greed territory at 71. Bitcoin stumbled 2.92% to $83,702 while traditional safe havens showed mixed signals—gold holding steady near $4,146 as the 10-year yield remained elevated at 5.27%. With CPI at 3.71% and unemployment stable at 4.20%, the market appears to be pricing in a continued balancing act between growth resilience and persistent inflation concerns.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield and any Fed speaker signals throughout the day; a sustained break above 5.30% could test equity momentum given lingering inflation data, while Bitcoin weakness may signal rotation from risk assets into equities.
