What to watch
With the Fed holding at 3.63% and headline CPI at 3.5%, the risk-on macro backdrop remains supportive as an upward-sloping curve and a subdued 16.5 VIX continue to underwrite equity duration. However, heavily negative market breadth—with only 27 tracked buy signals against 120 holds and 34 sells—warns of narrow leadership, concentrating flows into mega-cap technology and select growth names like GOOGL and META. Watch for a broadening of participation beyond these top buys; failure to achieve wider breadth alongside any upside surprise in inflation data could quickly test the resilience of this supportive regime.
