- U.S. stock futures climbed and the Nasdaq hit a record after reduced Fed rate-hike bets fueled a broad risk-on move across equities, according to multiple outlets
- The Dow rose 300 points as Treasury yields and oil prices dipped, with shares of AMD, Nvidia, and Tesla rallying in the risk-on environment per Investor's Business Daily
Why it matters: The Nasdaq record alongside a 300-point Dow surge and simultaneous rally in mega-cap tech names shows risk appetite is broadening — not narrow — as cooling data gives the Fed room to hold rates. For investors, easing yields and softer oil ease the two biggest headwinds that compressed valuations through 2025.
