Risk regime · reading the tapeRisk-on
The one thing today
Risk assets are pushing higher on dollar weakness and tight credit, but the next trigger is whether 10Y yields above 4.75% break the equity uptrend and choke crypto momentum.
65Risk-on
BearishNeutralBullish
Equities remain in a clear risk-on regime with the SPX above its 200DMA and credit spreads tight, while crypto is mixed but supported by greed and balanced funding. The dollar tailwind is offsetting the headwind from rising yields, but gold's neutral hedge and crude's cost-push are watching for inflation repricing. The cross-asset verdict is directional for risk until yields force a repricing of the Fed path.

⚑︎What would change my mindconfirmations & flip-risks
✓Dollar easing and tight HY spreads confirmed the risk-on read; as long as the dollar stays below 119 and spreads below 300bp, the bullish tilt holds.
⚠︎A 10Y yield spike above 4.75% would pressure equity duration and crypto funding, flipping the read to risk-off.
⚠︎Crude above $90 would add cost-push and break the current calm, possibly triggering a stagflation scare that upends the risk-on narrative.

Bond market signals persistent inflation above 3%
Persistent inflation and rising yields challenge the Fed's ability to cut rates, pressuring equity valuations and increasing the risk of a policy error.
