What If?
If you had put $1,000 into Crude Oil yesterday, you'd have $1,067.30 today.
The Big Picture
Oil ran the show. Crude jumped 6.73% and the energy sector rose 4.66%, the single biggest move on the board. Natural gas added 4.11%. That surge pulled money out of everything priced off cheap energy: technology fell 0.88% and the Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.3%. The headline index hides the split. The S&P 500 closed essentially unchanged, down 0.03%, because energy gains offset tech losses almost exactly. Bonds read the oil move as an inflation signal: long Treasuries fell 0.85% as yields pushed higher, and small caps took the worst of it, with the Russell 2000 down 0.52%. Silver climbed 3.32% and gold 1.02%, the classic hedge bid. Crypto did not join. Bitcoin lost 1.51% to $64,109. With Fear and Greed at 64, the crowd still leans optimistic while the oil tape argues otherwise.Fear & Greed Index
