The one thing today

The risk-on regime holds across stocks and macro, but rising US 10Y yields and crude oil cost-push are emerging headwinds that could flip the read if 10Y breaches 4.75% or WTI tops $90.

65Risk-on
BearishNeutralBullish

Stocks sustain their uptrend with low VIX and tight credit, while crypto remains mixed with high BTC dominance and muted altcoin activity. The dollar easing provides a tailwind for risk assets, but rising yields and crude cost-push are creeping in as headwinds. Overall, the cross-asset stance is risk-on but with growing caution on the fixed income and commodity side.

⚑︎What would change my mindconfirmations & flip-risks
The current risk-on read is confirmed by calm volatility, tight credit spreads, and a supportive dollar backdrop.
⚠︎If the US 10Y yield accelerates toward 4.75% or higher, it could start to weigh on equities and tighten financial conditions.
⚠︎A sustained spike in crude oil above $90 would add cost-push pressure and potentially stall the risk-on momentum across markets.
