Volatility ticked up, with the VIX rising 2.98% to 17.28, as markets digested 10-year Treasury yields hitting 4.5% and a "higher-for-longer" monetary stance under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
Sectors in focus:
- Tech & Aerospace drag: Guided Missiles & Space Vehicles & Parts plunged 6.47%, weighed down by SpaceX tumbling 10.4% in its third day of post-IPO trading following a new notes offering. Big Tech broadly suffered, with Alphabet (-5.0%) and Amazon (-4.7%) sliding on AI infrastructure cost concerns and talent exits to rivals like Anthropic. Index volatility was further compounded by the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 quarterly rebalance.
- Healthcare & Biotech lead: Biological Products (+3.04%) and Pharmaceutical Preparations (+3.02%) rallied, fueled by AbbVie (+5.4%) announcing a $10.9 billion acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics (+46.7%). Water, Sewer, Pipeline & Power Line Construction also shined, leading all industries with a 5.13% gain.
- Commodities retreat: WTI Crude fell 2.44% to 74 a barrel on encouraging progress in US-Iran peace negotiations outlining a 60-day roadmap to end the conflict. Gold also slipped, dropping 0.82% to 4,211.
