Markets showed mixed performance today as the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.71% while the Dow Jones gained 0.38%, reflecting a rotation toward defensive sectors and value stocks. The VIX remained calm at 15.45 with the Fear & Greed Index registering 57 (Greed), indicating investor confidence despite modest equity weakness. Treasury yields held steady at 5.24% as inflation at 3.71% and unemployment at 4.20% suggest the economic backdrop remains resilient, while crude oil slipped 0.74% and Bitcoin traded nearly flat.
Watch today: Monitor the Nasdaq's ability to stabilize above 30,600 and watch for any intraday reversal signals; tech weakness amid greed sentiment could signal profit-taking or a genuine shift in market leadership toward industrials and financials that the Dow is capturing.
