Equities posted modest gains this morning with the Nasdaq 100 leading the charge up 1.1%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones advanced more cautiously at 0.71% and 0.29% respectively. The 10-year Treasury yield holding near 5% reflects steady long-term rate expectations, and the VIX remained subdued at 17.84, suggesting measured investor sentiment despite a neutral Fear & Greed reading. Bitcoin slipped 0.59% while crude oil remained essentially flat, indicating muted momentum in risk assets beyond equities.
Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield at the 4.99% level—a move above 5.0% could signal rising inflation concerns and pressure equity valuations, particularly in rate-sensitive tech stocks that led today's gains.
