The Big Picture
Tech did the work. The Nasdaq 100 rose 1.45% and the technology sector gained 1.47%, while the Dow fell 0.37%. The S&P 500 split the difference at up 0.37%. That gap is the story: money went into one corner of the market and left the rest alone. Financials fell 0.55% and utilities 0.41%, so the bid was not broad. The dollar index rose 0.47% to 102.06, with EUR/USD down 0.53% and GBP/USD down 0.55%. Gold fell 0.78% as the dollar firmed. Treasuries sat still, TLT off 0.04%. Crypto drifted, Bitcoin down 0.19% at $75,740 and XRP down 3.85%. CNN's Fear and Greed Index reads 22, Extreme Fear. A 1.45% day in tech has not changed how the crowd feels.
