IEX premarket price against the prior close.
Stocks fell after a Fed hike and hawkish signals, but premarket trading points higher.
Tone
The S&P 500 fell 0.44% and the Dow lost 1.15% yesterday; the Nasdaq 100 closed flat. Premarket, all three are up more than 1.2%, while the Russell 2000's premarket prices are not in yet. The structure score is 54, balanced: the close is below the 20-day average and near its range low, but the medium trend is up and the premarket gap is strong. The gap is the newest signal.
The Fed hiked 25 basis points and projects another hike in 2026. Stocks sank and the 10-year yield reclaimed 5% as Warsh delivered a hawkish message. KKR doubled private debt deals to $80 billion as AI spending explodes, a sign of the credit behind that buildout. Apple and Nvidia are reportedly eyeing a major entry into AI servers, notable because both are core AI names.
