Markets Rebound Hard — Taco Monday

Stocks surge, VIX sinks 12%

S&P +1.55% · Nasdaq +2.00% · Gold +2.43% · Oil +1.10% · BTC −0.50% · VIX −12%

Hi there,

Quick daily recap from Grow Your Pile — Taco Monday brought a strong rebound:

• S&P 500: +1.55%

• Nasdaq: +2.00%

• Gold: +2.43%

• Oil: +1.10%

• Bitcoin: −0.50%

• VIX (volatility): −12%

Risk-on tone today—tech led, volatility cooled, and commodities caught a bid (gold and crude higher). Bitcoin lagged, but overall buyers stepped back in after recent chop.

What we’re watching tomorrow: Can momentum carry? Does market breadth improve beyond mega-caps? Does vol stay contained?

You got to risk it to get the biscuit.
