$META $PLTR — A sharp jump in 10-year yields to ~4.15% and a 300-point drop in the Dow set a cautious macro tone even as AI-led rallies (Palantir, Meta-linked optimism) and idiosyncratic corporate actions (On Holding buyback, Royal Caribbean guidance) produced a split tape. Analysts flag valuation, duration risk, and upcoming catalysts to watch.

Traders and longer-term allocators face a choice between momentum and macro-discipline.

$TSLA $AMZN $GOOGL $BA — Big legal and regulatory stories — a £345m Google fine, a judge green-lighting a major Tesla bias trial, and a class action over UWM's $603m over-hedge — set a risk tone across markets.

$BTC — Markets edged higher as a tech- and crypto-led bid pushed the Nasdaq further ahead of the S&P while small-caps posted modest gains.
