AI Morning Briefing

Equity markets are pulling back this morning with the Nasdaq 100 leading declines at -1.39%, while the broader S&P 500 slips 0.47% despite the Dow posting a modest gain. Tech weakness is dominating the session despite the Fear & Greed Index remaining in greed territory at 59, suggesting sentiment hasn't yet capitulated. Treasury yields hold steady at 5.23% as investors digest persistent inflation at 3.71% alongside a stable 4.20% unemployment rate.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield—if it breaks above 5.30%, it could accelerate tech selling and pressure growth stocks further. Watch for any Fed commentary today that might signal the interest rate trajectory, as current levels are keeping refinancing costs elevated.
