description: "Markets experienced a record-breaking day as equities surged while bonds were sold off. Traders rotated back into semiconductor and momentum stocks, driving the Nasdaq to significant outperformance ahead of mega-cap earnings. Despite tariff tensions and escalating geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and Black Sea, which boosted gold, bitcoin, and oil prices, equities decoupled from traditional bond-oil correlations. The dollar strengthened, and bond yields hit two-month highs."

# Momentum Melts Up For Best Day On Record; Bonds Dumped As Everything Else Pumped

***Tl;dr:** The 'great rotation' & 'broadening out' narratives took a beating today as **traders dived aggressively back into the Semis/Momo stocks**, lifting Nasdaq to notable outperformance (**record momo meltup** ahead of Mega-Cap earnings). **Tariff tensions were shrugged off** (CAD weaker but inflation fell too) as the dollar ripped higher. **Gold, bitcoin, and oil all rallied** notably as Mideast (and Black Sea) attacks escalate (and spread regionally), **lifting rate-hike odds and bond yields**(to 2mo highs).*

Equities notably decoupled from the bond-oil couple today...
