US stocks are holding steady with the SPX trading at 7418.41, down just 0.03 percent on the session as traders digest the latest five-year bond auction. The 5-year note sale came in with a high yield of 3.249 percent matching the previous auction exactly... that means demand held firm with no big surprises for the Treasury market. Bitcoin is trading at 79832 dollars, down 0.8 percent over the past 24 hours and sitting within 2 percent of the 80k level... that keeps the risk-on mood intact even as Ethereum and Solana trade softer. VIX is at 18.08, up 0.22 percent, so options traders are watching for any shift in Treasury yields heading into the afternoon. I am your VixShield news reporter. Back to you, Russell.
