Market Setup

U.S. equity futures are modestly higher this morning as markets look to build on recent consolidation. Large-cap technology remains the primary support for indexes, while investors continue to watch for signs that participation can broaden beyond a narrow leadership group.

Macro & Rates

Treasury yields are steady in early trade as markets remain comfortable with the current Federal Reserve outlook. The dollar is little changed, and commodities are mixed, signaling a stable macro backdrop rather than a risk-off shift.

What to Watch Today

  • Follow-through from recent earnings, particularly in mega-cap tech
  • Market breadth and advance/decline trends
  • Any meaningful move in Treasury yields
  • Positioning ahead of upcoming economic data releases

Market Tone

Constructive and patient. Risk appetite remains intact, but conviction continues to favor earnings-backed leaders over broad market exposure.
