Welcome Back,
Hi there
Good morning! In today’s issue, we’ll dig into the all of the latest moves and highlight what they mean for you right now. Along the way, you’ll find insights you can put to work immediately
Stock Market Update
Today’s session painted a mixed but cautious picture:
Dow: +1.43%
S&P 500: +0.91%
Nasdaq: +0.67%
Russell 2000: +2.14% — small-caps gained stronger upside.
VIX: –9.55% — volatility dropped significantly.
Key moves:Growth names modestly positive (AMZN +1.5%, AVGO +1.87%)
Some speculative names remain weak (CRWV –3.14%)
Read: The drop in the VIX is a good sign of cooling stress — small caps leading suggests risk-on tone is tentatively returning. But it’s early and requires confirmation.
Crypto Update
BTC ~ $86,608 (≈ –0.62% today)
ETH ~ $2,910 (≈ –0.59% today)
Most major alts down 2–8% in recent 30 days
Crypto remains under pressure — it’s not a crash, but a clear pull-back. The lack of upside surprise this morning suggests the market is digesting risk and waiting for a new catalyst.
Tip: If you’re crypto-positioned, this is a time to check size, reaffirm your risk tolerance, and avoid levering up expecting a snap reversal.
PRESENTED BY EVERQUOTE
Own a Home? Unlock Lower Auto Insurance Rates

Real Estate Update
A couple of notable updates in the past 24 hours:
Home prices continue to slow: The annual growth in U.S. home values was only ~1.2% in September 2025.
Logistics real estate remains strong: EQT Real Estate just completed the largest industrial-asset sale in the U.S. this year (8.7 million sq ft across 25 properties).
Takeaway: Residential real estate is cooling — but the industrial/logistics slice remains resilient. Investors may want to tilt toward structural trends (e-commerce logistics) rather than softening housing markets.
Resource Update
Gold: ~$4,148.70 (–0.12%)
Silver: ~$51.76 (+0.25%)
Platinum: ~$1,570 (+0.38%)
Palladium: ~$1,428 (–0.64%)
Energy: WTI ~$57.95 (–1.51%), Brent ~$62.64 (–1.15%)
Takeaway: Precious metals are holding quietly positive; energy is pulling back slightly. In a market with improving risk sentiment (VIX down), commodities may lag until the next directional move.
