Equities Rebound Amid Earnings Surge; Crypto Markets Watch for Spillover Effects
U.S. equities staged a midday recovery as regional banks clawed back losses following a wave of corporate earnings. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all trended upward, with Kenvue leading S&P gainers after a lawsuit-driven selloff. American Express surged on raised guidance, while Gold miners like Newmont retreated alongside bullion prices.
Pharma stocks Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly dipped after political commentary on drug pricing. Though no direct cryptocurrency mentions surfaced, traders monitor traditional market movements for potential capital rotation into digital assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum often benefit during risk-on sentiment—particularly when institutional earnings outperform.
