Yesterday, U.S. stock indexes looked lively on the surface, but things underneath were uneven.

The Dow closed up about 1,569 points, or roughly 3.03%, at around 53,356. That same day, $NVDA fell about 3%; crude oil dropped more than 8%, with WTI settling near $88. As the broader market moved higher, AI hardware and energy were on the other side.

First, note the split in market breadth as a fact, without assigning a direction.
