Market sentiment: $VIX falls as $IWM drops 1.35%
On August 28, $IWM fell 1.35% and $QQQ lost 0.65% as the 2-year Treasury yield rose 14 bp. $VIX still eased to 14.43, leaving calm volatility at odds with broad risk weakness.
Market sentiment: $NQ jumps 1.14% while $RTY slips
At 5:00 a.m. ET, $NQ futures rose 1.14% while $RTY slipped 0.10%. Post-earnings AI optimism is strong, but small-cap futures and soft credit proxies keep the signal concentrated.
NVIDIA crowding meets a narrower market rebound
At 4:58 a.m. ET, $NQ fell 0.20% while $YM rose 0.07%. Tuesday’s $QQQ-led rebound, weaker $RSP, lower yields and focused attention around NVIDIA point to event risk, not broad conviction.
Tech futures rebound, but Monday’s breadth split tests conviction
At 4:59 a.m. ET, $NQ rose 0.68%, leading $RTY, $ES and $YM. Monday’s $QQQ loss, firmer $RSP and $DIA, higher $VIX and lower long yields leave conviction split.
Technology futures lag as Monday’s risk tone splits
At 4:58 a.m. ET, $NQ was down 0.55% while $RTY was nearly flat. Friday’s wider breadth and lower $VIX argue for rotation, but elevated Treasury yields keep the opening test cautious.
Friday’s rebound broadened, but rates kept caution alive
U.S. markets are closed Sunday. On Friday, $IWM rose 0.77%, $RSP gained 0.63% and $VIX fell to 15.13, but a 4.74% 10-year Treasury yield kept the rebound from becoming an all-clear signal.
Futures bounce, but Thursday’s selloff left a broader risk scar
$IWM lost 1.34% and $VIX rose 7.52% on August 20 as long yields climbed. Near 04:56 ET on August 21, Nasdaq-100 futures led a rebound, but breadth still needed confirmation.
