Equities showed mixed resilience today with the S&P 500 gaining 0.41% while the Dow dipped slightly, though the Nasdaq 100 surged 1.17% as growth stocks outperformed. Oil prices jumped 2.01% to $100.57, signaling renewed energy demand concerns, while the 10-year Treasury yield held steady at 5.14% amid persistent inflation at 4.02%. The VIX remains calm at 18.74 with the Fear & Greed Index in moderate greed territory, suggesting cautious optimism without major risk-off sentiment.
Watch today: Monitor crude oil's continued strength above $100 and watch whether energy's outperformance signals inflation persistence or just supply tightness; this will be critical for Treasury yield direction and rate-cut expectations heading into Friday's data calendar.
