What matters this morning (ET)
- Risk rebound held into Friday’s close; watch follow-through Monday. US stocks ripped higher Friday with the Dow above 50,000 and broad beta catching a bid, helped by a stabilization in crypto. (apnews.com)
- Big Tech capex remains the market’s core narrative (supportive for AI supply chain, a headwind for FCF multiples). Amazon’s Feb. 5 guidance/capex framing stayed in focus after its earnings release. (sec.gov)
- Rates are steady-ish vs Friday; the 10Y level remains the key macro risk barometer. The US 10Y yield last showed ~4.206% (latest available close). (investing.com)
- Cross-asset pulse: dollar softer, oil firmer, gold bid, bitcoin rebounding. These signals broadly lean “risk-on” vs Thursday’s stress. (investing.com)
- Premarket single-stock tape is active but headline attribution is thin for many microcaps. Treat the highest % movers as liquidity/positioning unless a primary source confirms a catalyst. (nasdaq.com)
- Today (Sunday) is light on US macro; key catalysts cluster in the week ahead (CPI/retail sales/earnings). Positioning into the next data/earnings wave is likely to matter more than Sunday headlines. (investopedia.com)

Risks to today’s setup (ET)
- Data staleness / Sunday liquidity: Many “latest” prints above reflect Friday 02/06 closes or delayed data; gaps can appear into Monday’s open. (investing.com)
- Rates re-pricing risk: A move back up in the 10Y yield can quickly reverse Friday’s equity momentum. (investing.com)
- Crypto volatility spillover: BTC’s rebound helps sentiment, but swings can still whip crypto-linked equities. (investing.com)
