    • News setup

  • Markets are watching for inflation data and central bank commentary that could affect rates and risk appetite.

    • Risk lens

  • The trend looks constructive, but a break under key moving averages could shift tone.
  • Very large moves in a few names (like AMD) can drive day-to-day gains even if others lag.
  • Ratios to watch: breadth, participation, and any sudden spike in volatility.
  • If yields stabilize or rise again, tech and growth names could react differently than cyclicals.
