Walmart hit a $1 trillion market cap, highlighting continued strength in retail. Precious metals rebounded, with gold futures up 3.5% to $5,106 an ounce and silver jumping 7.9%, though gains may reflect a "dead-cat bounce" after prior selloffs. Treasury yields edged up slightly, the dollar eased, and oil prices rose modestly. Bitcoin declined 3.1% to $76,299, mirroring broader risk-off sentiment. Market participants await Alphabet's Q4 earnings and key economic reports, balancing AI-driven tech volatility against a robust U.S. economy.
