S&P 500

Key insight

7,651 sits in no-man's land: 50-day MA resistance near 7,720 above, 200-day MA floor at 7,480 below. Oil +2.7% and gold +1.3% both bid — classic late-cycle risk-off rotation that stalls equity momentum.

7,651 holds above the 200-day MA (~7,480) but DAX and CAC both off 1.4% signal European demand fading; oil's +2.7% surge to $93.7 adds stagflation noise, capping upside.

Main risk

Oil spike + stagflation repricing

Crude at $93.7 (+2.7%) raises input costs and complicates Fed easing; sustained above $90 historically squeezes S&P margins and pushes yields higher.
