Stock Market Update
U.S. equities turned in a mixed but constructive session as investors rotated between growth and defensive names.
Dow Jones: 47,706 (+0.34%)
S&P 500: 6,890 (+0.23%)
Nasdaq: 23,827 (+0.80%) — tech led the charge again.
Russell 2000: -0.55%
VIX: +3.99% to 16.42 — a small jump in volatility after a quiet stretch.
Winners
Microsoft (MSFT): +1.98% → strong AI cloud revenue guidance.
NVIDIA (NVDA): +4.98% → chip momentum still driving the sector.
Intel (INTC): +5.03% → optimism over next-gen processor launch.
Wayfair (W): +23.07% → major rebound on cost-cutting and margin improvement.
Tesla (TSLA): +1.80% → steady demand outlook despite EV headwinds.
Underperformers
Costco (COST): -0.61% → profit-taking after last week’s highs.
Oracle (ORCL): -0.20% → software rotation continues.
Exxon (XOM): -0.78% → dragged by lower oil prices.
Walmart (WMT): -1.23%, Zillow (Z): -1.35% → consumer demand uncertainty weighed.
💬 Market Takeaway:
Tech strength continues to anchor the rally, but small caps and cyclicals struggled. With VIX rising nearly 4%, investors are bracing for the next round of earnings and GDP data later this week.
Crypto Update
Crypto markets took a breather today as traders booked profits and rotated into equities ahead of key macro events.
Bitcoin (BTC): $112,640 ↓ -0.84% (still +1.63% weekly)
Ethereum (ETH): $3,967 ↓ -1.83%
XRP: -1.68% but +4.64% weekly
BNB: -3.40%
Solana (SOL): -1.35%
Dogecoin (DOGE): -2.10%
Despite the red day, on-chain data remains bullish — stablecoin inflows and long-term holder accumulation show that smart money is using dips to build positions.
🪙 Market Pulse: BTC remains well above $110K support, and ETH’s minor retracement is largely seen as cooling after its recent $4,100 run-up. Expect sideways consolidation through Wednesday as traders await macro signals.
Real Estate Update
No major property headlines hit the wires today, as the market stayed in wait-and-see mode ahead of this week’s economic data and Fed outlook.
However, industrial and data-center REITs continue to draw quiet institutional bids, signaling that long-term yield players are buying dips even as financing costs stay elevated.
💡 Today’s Tip:
If you’re tracking REIT performance, focus on those with short lease durations and pricing power — they’re better positioned to reset rents in an inflation-stabilizing environment.
Resource Update
Commodities cooled sharply today, led by a steep drop in energy prices.
Energy
WTI Crude: $59.96 ↓ -2.20%
Brent Crude: $64.24 ↓ -2.09%
Natural Gas: $3.27 ↓ -5.03%
Heating Oil: $236.70 ↓ -2.84%
Energy stocks followed crude lower as traders priced in weaker short-term demand and a slight inventory build in the U.S. API data.
Metals
Gold: $3,970 ↓ -0.74%
Silver: $47.35 ↑ +0.51%
Platinum: $1,605 ↓ -0.15%
Palladium: $1,437 ↓ -0.15%
🪙 Insight: Investors rotated lightly out of safe havens back into equities, but gold’s resilience near $4,000 suggests continued hedging demand amid global rate uncertainty.
