Equities posted modest gains across the board, with the Nasdaq 100 leading at +1.16% as tech outperformed, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones climbed +0.59% and +0.68% respectively. The VIX held steady at 18.28 amid a greed-driven sentiment reading, suggesting low volatility anxiety despite persistent inflation at 4.02% and a 10-year yield holding firm at 5.15%. Bitcoin retreated 1.92% to $81,794, while crude oil edged higher on modest demand signals.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.15% ahead of any Fed speakers today—sustained higher rates could temper tech enthusiasm by week's end. Watch Bitcoin's support around $80k as risk appetite shifts.
