🧠 LotusBee View
Markets showed broad strength today—S&P and Nasdaq set fresh records, while Dow and small-caps caught up on upbeat earnings and M&A headlines. Volatility dropped, underscoring the confident tone.
Crypto stayed firm, bolstered by continued ETF momentum. The standout moves in AES, Delta, and Kellogg highlight that investors are rotating into corporate stories beyond tech. Meanwhile, copper’s spike signals renewed sensitivity to trade risks and commodity supply dynamics.
Looking ahead: tomorrow’s Fed minutes and next week’s earnings calendar will be pivotal. But for now, risk appetite remains alive and well.
