What to watch

With the Fed holding at 3.63% and CPI cooling to 3.3%, the supportive risk-on regime is confirmed by a subdued VIX at 16 and an upward-sloping curve, though the 26-to-123 buy-to-hold ratio suggests institutions are extending exposure selectively rather than chasing beta. Watch GOOGL and PINS for confirmation that mega-cap and ad-tech breadth is narrowing into the leaders, while BKNG and CF indicate real-economy and ag-commodity resilience. The key risk is whether soft-landing complacency, priced into this low-vol environment, survives any uptick in inflation surprises that could pressure the front end of the curve.
