Market Mood

Neutral

Morning Thesis

The price of money remains the organizing force across assets. Uncertainty around the policy path keeps Treasury yields central to equity valuations, credit conditions and the dollar. Markets are therefore responding less to isolated company news than to evidence that clarifies how restrictive financial conditions must remain.
