◆ Market Pulse

Risk-off tone overnight as Iran's IRGC struck a U.S. air base, lifting WTI back above $94 and pushing the 10Y yield above 4.50% after a five-session decline. Futures are modestly lower with the April PCE print at 8:30 ET as the binary event of the session — markets price ~50% odds of a Fed hike by December. AI-infrastructure names lead the after-hours tape on a Snowflake–AWS $6B deal, but defensive flows are bid in gold and short-duration Treasuries.

Technology / Semis (XLK · SMH)
BULLISH

BULLISH
WTI +1.4% on Hormuz risk premium. Refiners and services favored. Trail stops — geopolitics can reverse on de-escalation headlines.
Defense / Aerospace (ITA)
BULLISH
DELL's $9.7B DoD award + Iran escalation reinforce defense bid. LMT, RTX, NOC, GD in focus.
Consumer Discretionary (XLY)
BEARISH
Higher pump prices + sticky core PCE risk pinches discretionary spend. BBY is an idiosyncratic beat — fade the broader read-through.
Rate-Sensitive REITs (XLRE · IYR)
BEARISH
10Y back above 4.50% pressures duration. Watch for pending home sales miss to compound the move.
Financials (XLF · KRE)
