A red session for most sectors with Materials and Industrials leading the pain. My scanner had zero qualifiers, but three names ran hard anyway — here's how I'm grading the day.
Broad market closed weak but not ugly. SPX $7,199.61 down 0.42% on the session, and the sector breakdown tells the real story — Materials down 1.48%, Industrials down 1.21%, Financials off 0.65%. Energy was the lone standout at +0.97%, riding crude's 3.2% spike to $105.20. That move in oil is real and I'm paying attention to it. The 10Y yield creeping to 4.446% is doing damage to rate-sensitive sectors — REITs, Utilities, Financials all bled today, and I don't think that pressure is done.
The big gut-punch was gold and silver. Gold $4,532 (-2.42%) and silver down nearly 4% in a single session hurts my bullion positions. I'm not panicking — I've held through worse — but a DXY bounce to 98.4 plus rising yields is the exact environment where metals get sold. I'm watching whether holds above $4,500. Below that and I reassess size.

My scanner hit zero qualifiers today, but the top long movers still printed:
On the short side, XNDU $14.00 -61.24% was the day's wreckage. Catalyst-driven flush, nothing I'd touch without knowing the halt risk.
I'm watching energy names into the open given crude's strength. Bitcoin holding $80K with crypto Fear & Greed at 40 while stock greed sits at 63 is a divergence I find interesting — crypto is still being treated as risk-off. Gold needs to defend $4,500 or I'm trimming. I want CCM and CABA on the pre-market scanner first thing.
