In brief

Stocks higher: The S&P 500 rose +0.59% to 7,819.83, adding to a +1.95% 5-day climb that keeps the recent uptrend intact.
Yields ease: The 10-year yield slipped -0.04 pts to 5.27%, a modest relief for rate-sensitive stocks while borrowing costs stay high.
Tech leads: Technology is Metravise's leading sector, ahead of the S&P 500 by +1.0 pts over a month, with chip stocks out front.

What it means

The Nasdaq Composite added +0.47% to 27,601.91, and the Nasdaq 100 is up +2.94% over five sessions. The advance still leans heavily on technology, which leaves the indexes more exposed to shifts in chip sentiment and interest rates. Futures are little changed before the open, with S&P 500 futures at -0.01% and Nasdaq 100 futures at -0.07%.

The day in review and where money is flowing

Inside technology, Semiconductor Equipment & Materials leads the S&P 500 by +17.9 pts over a month, followed by Semiconductors at +13.7 pts and Electronics & Computer Distribution at +9.4 pts. Industrials and Consumer Cyclical are improving, while the weakest sector trails the S&P 500 by -9.8 pts; the Metravise Portfolio moved +1.10% in the last session. Money is favouring growth and cyclical areas, while defensive sectors such as utilities, healthcare and consumer staples keep losing ground.

Market mood

The VIX eased -2.51% to 15.13, a level that sits in the normal range and points to calm expectations for volatility. The equity put/call ratio stood at 0.59 against a 5-day average of 0.53, so hedging demand ticked up on the day but remains around average overall.
