The Big Picture
Risk appetite came back hard. The Nasdaq 100 rose 3.55% and the technology sector added 3.78%, the biggest move on the board. Breadth backed it up: the Russell 2000, which tracks smaller companies, gained 3.25%, while the S&P 500 rose 2.42% and the Dow 2.19%. Two things sat oddly against that. Gold rose 1.91% and silver 2.77%, so the haven trade did not unwind as stocks ran. And crypto went the other way, with Ethereum down 3.95% and XRP down 4.03%, while Bitcoin held at $74,802. Treasuries barely moved, TLT up 0.07%, so this was an equity move, not a rates move. Crude oil fell 3.84%. The tell to watch: CNN's Fear and Greed Index reads 32, still Fear. A 3.5% tech day that leaves positioning scared is not a crowd that has committed.Fear & Greed Index
