Monday, Aug 10, 2026, then tomorrow

Indices were essentially flat to marginally lower: S&P 500 -0.02%, Nasdaq 100 -0.29%, Dow -0.09%, Russell 2000 -0.51%. The session lacked a clean macro catalyst but had two distinct cross-currents. Crude jumped 3% above $80 and the 10-year hit an August high after hopes for a US-Iran Strait of Hormuz deal faded, lifting XLE +4.72% to $60.20 and crushing rate-sensitive sectors: XLRE -1.29%, Utilities -1.07%. Tech underperformed (-0.87%) with AAPL weighed by a Jefferies downgrade to Underperform with a cut PT of $263.66, partially offset by MSFT +~2% on Maia 300 chip reports and PANW climbing ~5% to an ATH of $382.94. The oil/rates dynamic carries directly into Tuesday and the rest of the week.

Tomorrow

Tuesday, Aug 11, 2026

What is scheduled, with ET times. Not a forecast of how it lands.

No economic data is scheduled Tuesday. The next macro event is CPI on Wednesday Aug 12 at 8:30 AM ET, followed by PPI Thursday Aug 13 at 8:30 AM ET and Retail Sales Friday Aug 14 at 8:30 AM ET. No earnings are scheduled for Tuesday either. With a data vacuum tomorrow, price action will be driven by residual oil/rate pressure, any Iran-related headlines, and follow-through from today's earnings movers. Watch crude vs. the $80 level and the 10-year yield's August high for continuation signals in Energy and further pressure on Real Estate and Utilities.

No major scheduled catalysts.

By timeframe

Session structure

How the calendar shapes each holding period. Descriptive only: not advice, and not a recommendation to trade anything.

⚡ ScalpTuesday's calendar is empty of scheduled economic releases and earnings, so there are no pre-market or intraday events expected to produce sharp liquidity gaps or spread widening. The open and the final 30 minutes are typically the highest-activity windows on a data-free day. The next volatility-concentrating event is CPI on Wednesday Aug 12 at 8:30 AM ET.
☀️ Day tradeTuesday is a news-flow session rather than a catalyst-driven one. Energy sector leadership (+4.72% Monday) and individual stock reactions to Monday earnings and analyst actions (PANW at ATH $382.94, AAPL downgraded with a new PT of $263.66) are the focal points for intraday range development. Crude oil above $80 and the 10-year yield's August-high level are the two macro variables shaping sector rotation context.
🌊 SwingA multi-day position opened Tuesday carries three consecutive 8:30 AM ET macro prints: CPI Wednesday Aug 12, PPI Thursday Aug 13, and Retail Sales Friday Aug 14. VIX closed at 15.46, up from 14.90. Sector divergence was wide Monday with a 6-percentage-point spread between the best sector (Energy +4.72%) and worst (Real Estate -1.29%), driven by the crude and rates move tied to fading US-Iran Hormuz deal hopes.
🌲 Long termThe week's CPI (Wednesday Aug 12, 8:30 AM ET) and PPI (Thursday Aug 13, 8:30 AM ET) prints are the data most relevant to rate-path expectations and long-duration asset valuations. The reported Nvidia-anchored $500B+ AI infrastructure financing consortium involving BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo, KKR and Goldman Sachs is a data point on the scale and institutional commitment behind the AI capex cycle.
