What to watch
With the Fed on hold at 3.63% and CPI cooling to 3.3%, the supportive risk-on regime is confirmed by a subdued VIX at 15.4 and a healthy upward-sloping curve, though narrow breadth—128 Holds against just 25 Buys—reveals institutional selectivity beneath the calm tape. We are monitoring this leadership concentration closely, specifically whether the rotation into defensive-growth and quality cyclicals like INTU, BKNG, CME, and CF can sustain the rally or if the lack of broad participation signals exhaustion at the highs.
