SPY closed at $750.46, less than a point off its 90d high, while the 10-year yield sits at 4.48% — steady rates are giving risk assets a bid. VIX is printing 16.70, holding near the bottom of its 90-day range, suggesting limited fear heading into a busy earnings day.
Technology (XLK +0.8% 5d) continues to lead, supported by strong momentum in memory names — MU and MPWR are both making new highs, validating the AI-driven demand story. Energy (XLE +1.2% 5d) is showing relative strength, outpacing the broader market despite flat crude prices, hinting at accumulation.
We're watching DELL (earnings tonight — key mega-cap read), MCHP (broke $100 last week — momentum play), and ALAB (new highs — chasing the breakout). Also, eyes on MU (AI leader — confirmation above $920).
