Equities opened mixed as the Dow surged 1.02% while the Nasdaq100 dipped 0.13%, with the S&P 500 gaining modest ground at +0.28%. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 63 (Greed), suggesting investor confidence remains intact despite the divergence between large-cap and tech performance. With the 10-year yield holding at 5.12% and CPI still elevated at 4.02%, bond yields are providing meaningful competition for equity valuations.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield for any moves above 5.15% which could pressure tech further and amplify the value/growth rotation. This level matters because it signals whether the Fed's rate environment is stabilizing or shifting, directly impacting the Nasdaq's momentum.
