What Happened

  • U.S. futures pushed higher in early trade with cyclicals leading.
  • Treasury yields stayed in a narrow band despite a busy macro calendar ahead.
  • The dollar index eased slightly as commodity currencies stabilized.

What It Means

  • The market is willing to carry a constructive tone while waiting for harder data.
  • Stable yields are helping equity multiples hold after last week’s volatility.
  • A softer dollar is giving global risk sentiment modest support.

What I Think

  • This looks like a positioning continuation rather than a true trend break.
  • If incoming data stays balanced, buyers may keep pressing into midweek.
  • I prefer selective risk rather than broad beta at these levels.

Market Terms

  • Beta - A measure of how sensitive an asset is to broad market moves.
