Trade Setup

Global markets are mixed but leaning positive this morning as easing geopolitical fears spark a broad "risk-on" rotation, though traders are keeping a close eye on looming agricultural data. 

Here is your essential trading setup for the remainder of Friday, July 10, 2026:

📊 Major Index Rebounds

• S&P 500 & Nasdaq: Futures point to a green open, building on yesterday’s Wall Street rally. Technology stocks are leading the charge.
• Global Tech Surge: Risk appetite is high globally after South Korea’s Kospi index surged 4% overnight, powered by intense artificial intelligence optimism. 

🪙 Crypto & Risk Assets

• Bitcoin Breakout: Bitcoin has surged over 2.6% today to $64,331. It is eyeing immediate resistance at $65,500. If it breaks this level, a fast rally toward $68,200 is possible.
• Safe-Haven Retreat: Capital is moving out of defensive assets. Gold and the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) are trading slightly lower as geopolitical anxieties soften.

Macro Catalyst: Canada Jobs

• Data Outperformance: Canada’s economy added 18,000 net jobs in June, beating the 10,000 forecasts.
• Unemployment Drop: The jobless rate ticked down to 6.5% (vs. 6.6% expected). Watch the Canadian Dollar (CAD), as this report pressures the Bank of Canada to keep interest rates steady. 

🌾 Critical Looming Event: USDA WASDE

• Clock is Ticking: The World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates land at 12:00 PM EDT (in 35 minutes).
• Trade Disruption Volatility: Expect heavy volatility in grain futures (Corn, Soybeans, Wheat). Traders are pricing in tight corn stocks but also bracing for export disruptions following the recent U.S. trade halt with Spain.
