Good Morning

Markets traded with a cautious tone as tariff concerns lingered, even as defensive dividend payers held up well. Shares of global stalwarts like Lockheed Martin, Coca-Cola, and Walmart saw relatively muted reactions to tariff news, underscoring their cash-flow insulation and steady yields. At the same time, growth-oriented tech names continued to attract attention—cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike has vaulted about 50% year-to-date, fueling comparisons with peers such as Cloudflare.

Cryptocurrency volatility also seeped into market sentiment as Bitcoin jumped past $118,000 amid surging ETF inflows, reinforcing its appeal to institutional allocators. On the metals front, gold futures climbed while copper dipped, and the U.S. dollar held relatively steady against major peers. Among individual equities, NVIDIA once again ranked among the day’s most active names, extending its recent momentum as investors balance defensive and growth-oriented bets.
