Daily Synthesis
Today's session was defined by a broad derisking move, with semiconductors and cyclicals bearing the heaviest losses while defensives and healthcare absorbed the rotation — a textbook risk-off configuration. Crypto saw net outflows from major products, reinforcing the cautious tone rather than offering an alternative bid. Heading into tomorrow, the key question is whether defensive rotation deepens into a sustained defensive regime or whether the volatility spike proves short-lived and growth finds a footing.
