Good MorningU.S. equities eked out fresh records Monday, with the S&P 500 closing up 0.1% to breach its prior all-time high and the Nasdaq Composite rallying 0.4%, even as the Dow slipped fractionally. Verizon Communications led the upside after reporting a quarterly profit above analyst expectations, while Cleveland-Cliffs surprised investors by narrowing its loss. On the other hand, this week’s big bank reports underscore growing differentiation: rising rate headwinds and margin pressures have left Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America charting markedly divergent paths.
Sector rotations continue to shape the opportunity set. Risk-tolerant investors are chasing explosive momentum in small-cap biotech names after long dormancy, and several high-beta plays in AI infrastructure, autonomous vehicles and space defense are drawing heavy flows. Meanwhile, as crypto heavyweights advance tokenization of real-world assets, trading platforms and blockchain-focused firms stand to benefit. On the corporate front, Microsoft’s emergency patch for a SharePoint zero-day exploit highlights persistent cybersecurity demand. Ford’s recall of nearly 695,000 Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs over fuel-injector fire risks underscores ongoing volatility in auto-industry stocks. Featured: Everyone’s watching Nvidia right now.
