Holdings Breakdown

CRDO closed at $271.95, up 10.69% on the session. Credo's strong finish capped a robust quarter for the semiconductor equipment supplier, with momentum driven by persistent demand for high-speed connectivity solutions across data center and AI infrastructure buildouts. Watch for any forward guidance refinements or customer concentration updates in the coming earnings window to gauge sustainability of the rally.

IONQ closed at $53.26, down 1.15% on the session. IonQ edged lower in postmarket trade after a strong three-month run, though the quantum-computing specialist remains well above its early-year lows as investor appetite for AI infrastructure plays continues to fluctuate. Watch for any updates on enterprise partnerships or technical breakthroughs that could reignite momentum in the sector.

NOW closed at $99.28, down 0.69% on the session. ServiceNow is navigating intensifying competitive pressure as Atera topped G2 rankings ahead of ServiceNow and other enterprise platforms, while the company prepares to report second-quarter earnings with analyst expectations for a single-digit earnings decline. The stock's year-to-date weakness reflects broader valuation compression in software, though recent AI initiatives with Accenture suggest management is focused on maintaining relevance in autonomous IT and cybersecurity.

Rate Environment

Treasury yields closed June with a modestly upward-sloping curve, the 10Y at 4.38% and the 2Y at 4.07%, producing a normal 10Y-2Y spread of 31 basis points. The 2-year yield sits above the Fed Funds rate of 3.63%, a configuration consistent with markets pricing in a pause or gradual path from here following prior cuts in the current easing cycle. Credit spreads remain tight, with AAA corporates at 39 basis points and BBB at 96 basis points over Treasuries, suggesting limited stress in investment-grade credit. Together, the curve shape and spread environment point to a relatively orderly rate backdrop for equity and fixed-income holdings entering the second half of 2026.

Bottom Line

Equity weakness heading into quarter-end close warrants a cautious overnight posture; watch for any repositioning flows at tomorrow's open that could amplify or reverse today's pressure across your holdings.
