Equities have stayed near record territory, keeping the broader bull regime intact, even as risk appetite gyrates day to day. A deepening AI-related selloff hit tech again, with the Nasdaq down 0.60% and Technology off 1.31% as CoreWeave's credit stress spread further. Energy, Materials and Financials rallied instead, up 0.98%, 1.70% and 1.26% respectively, while the 10-year Treasury yield reversed higher to 5.12%.
