What to Watch Today
Market participants will focus heavily on upcoming durable goods orders and fresh consumer confidence prints to gauge whether current equity oversold levels represent a structural shift or a transient pullback. Fixed income markets will immediately respond to scheduled Treasury auctions, which could dictate whether long-end yields continue their aggressive upward repricing. Energy price stability remains a critical narrative driver going into the next session following the substantial crude oil appreciation.
