Stocks are holding near record territory as traders digest mixed signals from the macro backdrop. SPX is trading at 7497.65, down just 0.04 percent on the session, while the VIX has eased to 17.34, down nearly one percent, pointing to contained options-market fear. Bitcoin is trading at 81546 dollars, up 3.1 percent over the past 24 hours and sitting within striking distance of the 80-thousand-dollar level, a move that typically reflects broad risk-on sentiment that tends to compress the VIX. In crypto markets Ethereum is up more than two percent and Solana has gained over two percent as well, extending the risk-asset rally. Traders are watching for any fresh catalysts from Washington or the Fed that could sway the next leg in equities and digital assets. I am your VixShield news reporter. Back to you, Russell.
