Daily Synthesis
Today's session was defined by a broad and decisive rotation into growth and hard assets, with cyclicals and semiconductors asserting dominance while defensives and energy absorbed the selling pressure. The crypto complex echoed the equity risk-on tone, though net ETF outflows temper the conviction signal. Tomorrow's setup hinges on whether institutional flows confirm or fade this aggressive rotation, making fund flow data the key variable to watch at the open.
