The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield continues to fluctuate near elevated levels around 4.86%, with high yields continuing to weigh on valuation models for major U.S. stock indexes. The S&P 500 has recently been consolidating around 7,376 points, while technology growth stocks face a test from discount rates. Meanwhile, Brent crude has fallen to $93.76 per barrel, and fluctuations in energy costs continue to shape market expectations for imported inflation. From a technical perspective, the upward momentum of the major indexes’ 20-day moving averages (MA) has eased, while the daily relative strength index (RSI) remains in a neutral range, reflecting cautious sentiment amid mixed macroeconomic headwinds and tailwinds.
