AI Morning Briefing

Equities declined across the board, with the Nasdaq 100 leading losses at 2.02% while the S&P 500 fell 1.11%, suggesting a rotation away from growth and tech-heavy positions. The 10-year Treasury yield held steady at 5.19% amid persistent inflation at 4.02%, keeping rate-cut expectations muted. Bitcoin and crude oil both retreated modestly, while the VIX remained measured at 17.59, indicating measured risk appetite despite the market pullback.

Watch today: Monitor afternoon Fed speaker commentary and any CPI-related headlines—the elevated 10-year yield and sticky inflation data could further pressure growth stocks if hawkish rhetoric resurfaces.
