The Big Picture

Technology did the heavy lifting. The tech sector rose 3.23% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 2.3%, while the Dow managed only 0.49%. That gap is the whole story: money went into the biggest growth names and left the rest of the market behind. The S&P 500 split the difference at +1.31%. The dollar strengthened at the same time, with the Dollar Index up 0.8%. The euro fell 0.78% and the pound 0.86%. A stronger dollar usually weighs on gold, and gold fell 1.12%. Treasuries barely moved, so this was not a rate story. The crowd is not convinced. CNN's Fear & Greed Index reads 37, still in Fear, after a 2.3% day in tech. Watch whether the Dow and small caps catch up or the rally stays this narrow.
