Previous Session Recap

Overnight on Wall Street, all three major indexes moved higher. The Dow Jones gained 0.29% to close above the 53,000 mark for the first time on an end-of-day basis, while the Nasdaq jumped 1.12% on a rebound in semiconductor stocks. Technology, financials, and industrials led the gains, while defensive sectors such as healthcare, consumer staples, and utilities lagged.

Current Market Tone

Pre-market futures are pointing in mixed directions. Dow futures are up 0.24%, while Nasdaq futures are down nearly 1%, as semiconductor and tech names that notched fresh record highs the previous session take a breather. Risk-on sentiment is still intact, but upside momentum has cooled, with the buying that had been concentrated in mega-cap tech stocks pausing for now. The biggest variable today is the release of the first Fed minutes under incoming Chair Warsh in the early hours of Thursday (Korean time), which is expected to set the direction by offering clues on the rate path.

Names in Focus

Apple closed at $312.86, breaking above the upper Bollinger Band, with an RSI of 62.5, which is still not in overbought territory. After leading the rebound in mega-cap tech the prior session, the key question is whether it can hold the upper-band trend even amid pre-market weakness in tech. Oracle's RSI has slipped to 30.1, putting it in oversold territory, before rebounding 2.49%; it remains to be seen whether this is the start of a dead-cat bounce off an outsized decline. On the other hand, Bank of America's RSI has climbed to 74.2, flashing an overbought signal, so chasing the financial-sector rally with late entrants calls for caution.
