Key developments:
  • Brent crude down 4.7% to ~$99.55 on Iran ceasefire signals
  • Asian equities +1.9% overnight
  • Futures pointing higher into open

However:
  • Bond markets now pricing ~50% probability of rate hike by October
  • Software sector remains weak ($IGV -23% YTD)
  • Crypto under pressure after stablecoin regulatory concerns ($COIN -9%)

This creates a conflicting setup:

Short-term → relief rally potential
Medium-term → inflation and rates remain a headwind


Key levels:
  • $SPY resistance: 665
  • $SPY support: 650 → 640
  • Oil below $100 critical for sustained upside

Focus remains on:

  • Paychex earnings (labor market signal)
  • Iran negotiation updates (oil direction)
  • Yield movement (4.25% → 4.40% breakout risk)

This is a macro-driven market. Position accordingly.
