Tesla up 5.1% to 362.86 on a Sunday — that sets the tone before the week even opens.

Futures are green. SPY up 0.41%, QQQ up 0.35%. Small caps lead — IWM up 0.77%, Dow up 0.89%. VIX sitting at 15.13, calm. Gold up 2.39% — that's the one number in this macro picture worth watching twice.

Tesla up 5.1% to 362.86. No scheduled catalyst — pure momentum. Oracle up 3.1% to 146.47, riding AI infrastructure demand that has not cooled. Broadcom up 1.21% to 368.45 — same tailwind, quieter move, consistent. Now here's the divergence: Intel down 2.24% to 90.07 while Oracle and Broadcom print gains. Chips are not a monolith right now. Salesforce up 1.82% to 209.17 — quietly one of the better enterprise software sessions in weeks. Costco up 1.52% to 947.74, consumer staples holding firm. UnitedHealth up 1.37% to 390.11, defensive money still finding a home. Alphabet up 1.22% to 344.82, steady. Nvidia down 0.98% to 214.72 — worth noting when every AI-adjacent name around it is green.

No economic data on the calendar. Nothing. Clean tape.

Earnings on deck: American Woodmark estimated at 50 cents. CNFinance estimated at 9 cents. BTM is projected to lose 28 cents. ADMT, CAF, and CLM report with no consensus estimate in sight.

No Asian market data available tonight. That's a blind spot going into Monday's open — factor it in.

Sunday green futures, a VIX below 16, and gold running hard is not a contradictory picture — it's a hedged one. Someone is buying protection while the risk-on trade plays out. Nvidia slipping while Oracle and Broadcom hold tells you this AI trade is getting more selective, not broader. Intel breaking lower on top of that sharpens the rotation story inside tech. Watch that spread Monday morning.

Numbers don't lie. People do. Trade accordingly.
