Equities faced selling pressure today, with the Nasdaq 100 leading losses at −2.88% while the S&P 500 fell 1.21%, though the Dow managed a modest gain. Tech weakness contrasts sharply with energy strength, as crude oil climbed 1.09% while the 10-year yield held steady near 5%, keeping inflation concerns in focus given the 4.02% CPI reading. The VIX remains elevated at 19.63, and the Fear & Greed Index sits neutral at 50, suggesting investors remain cautious but not panicked.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield—any movement above 5% could trigger further equity selloff, particularly in high-growth tech stocks. Watch for Fed commentary or inflation data confirmation to determine if this rotation is temporary or signals a sustained shift in market direction.
