Executive Summary

Market color: A risk-off tape dominated the overnight and pre-market session: rising global bond yields (the 10-year Treasury hit its highest since January 2025), surging crude on Middle East tensions, and revived Fed rate-hike speculation weighed on tech and AI-infrastructure names. A handful of nuclear-power and defense names bucked the selloff, while Broadcom reports earnings after the close.
