BOTTOM LINE
Tech selloff (-0.83% Nasdaq) offset by defensive rotation.
Kyiv escalation (LVL 9) failed to ignite defense sector across the board — RTX/NOC/BA up, but LMT/PLTR down. Gold’s modest gain (+0.68%) suggests muted safe-haven demand. Oil flat despite Houthi Red Sea threats. VIX down -4.18% signals low volatility expectations heading into jobs data Friday. Asia ripped overnight (Japan +3.66%, Korea +3.76%) — watch for Thursday pre-market momentum if futures hold green. 575 earnings tomorrow — focus on energy (COP, CNQ, PBR), cloud (DDOG, NET), and consumer (ABNB, MNST, KDP).
