What matters this morning (08:00 ET run)
- Risk bid held into the weekend: US equity futures were higher (ES/NQ/RTY green), keeping the “buy-the-dip / momentum” tone intact. (investing.com)
- Rates steady-to-lower into Monday supply: US 10Y ~4.17% (latest available close) keeps financial conditions from tightening further into the week’s catalysts/auctions. (investing.com)
- Dollar firm: DXY ~99.14 (+0.27%) supports a mild headwind for commodities/EM-sensitive risk, but not a risk-off signal by itself. (investing.com)
- Crude higher: WTI ~+1% adds a small inflation impulse and can re-focus attention on energy and headline CPI sensitivity. (investing.com)
- Gold stays strong: Spot gold ~+0.73% signals continued demand for hedges alongside the equity rally. (investing.com)
- Crypto stable: Bitcoin ~90.7k (+0.10%) suggests no fresh crypto-driven risk shock pre-open. (investing.com)

Risks to today’s setup
- Thin liquidity risk (Sunday night / early Monday): small flows can exaggerate futures moves and reverse quickly at the cash open.
- Rates surprise risk: any unexpected shift in inflation expectations (oil move, data leaks) can reprice the front-end and hit long-duration equities.
- Headline/geopolitics risk: energy/policy headlines can swing crude and risk sentiment quickly. (reuters.com)
