AI Morning Briefing

Markets posted modest gains today with the Nasdaq 100 leading at +1.29%, while the S&P 500 and Dow lagged with +0.60% and +0.04% respectively. The 10-year Treasury yield held steady near 5%, reflecting ongoing inflation concerns as CPI remains elevated at 4.02%. Sentiment remains neutral according to the Fear & Greed Index at 51, with Bitcoin and crude oil both maintaining slight upward pressure.

Watch today: Monitor the 10-year Treasury yield as it approaches and holds the 5% level; a sustained break above could trigger profit-taking in equities, particularly in growth stocks where the Nasdaq has led today's gains.
