What matters this morning (ET)
- Risk tone: bid after Friday’s sharp rebound. US equity futures are higher into the Saturday morning session, extending Friday’s broad risk-on move (small caps and cyclicals led). (uk.finance.yahoo.com)
- Rates: 10Y yield still elevated into next week’s supply. The Treasury curve remains steep; next week’s refunding auctions (incl. $42B 10Y on Wed Feb 11) are a key rates catalyst for equities. (home.treasury.gov)
- Dollar: softer on the week/day. DXY ended Friday lower, consistent with easier financial conditions into the open. (finance.yahoo.com)
- Commodities: WTI steady; gold strong. Energy is not signaling acute growth stress; gold strength keeps “hedge bid” visible. (es.finance.yahoo.com)
- Crypto: still volatile after a sharp drawdown and rebound. Bitcoin is up sharply over the past 24h but remains well below the Oct 2025 high—risk sentiment tail can still wag tech beta. (coinmarketcap.com)
- Macro driver (last 24h): UMich sentiment beat helped fuel Friday’s rally. The rebound in risk assets was attributed to stronger-than-expected consumer sentiment data. (investors.com)

- Crypto volatility spillover: BTC remains highly volatile after a sharp drawdown; sentiment linkages to high-beta equities can reassert quickly. (coingecko.com)
