What to watch
With the Fed funds rate at 3.63% and CPI moderating to 3.5%, the supportive risk-on backdrop is confirmed by a VIX at 17.2 and an upward-sloping yield curve, though the heavily skewed breadth of 124 Hold ratings against just 27 Buys suggests institutional caution is constraining broad market participation. Against this defensive tape, isolated fundamental conviction in mega-cap technology and select financials is emerging, with CF, META, ALL, and INTU distinguishing themselves as the primary top-buy candidates as allocators search for asymmetric upside within an otherwise range-bound equity complex.
