US equities remain in a risk-on backdrop but the rally is narrow, with technology leading while small caps and most other sectors lag and only about 40% of stocks trading above their 50-day average. The 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to 5.01%, pressuring gold even as gold prices sit modestly above their 60-day average, while bitcoin has extended gains, up over 21% versus its 200-day average. Inflation readings (core PCE 3.3% YoY) are steady and the VIX near 14.8 points to a calm, low-volatility tape overall.
