Your portfolio navigated the session well, and the details for each holding are outlined below.

Holdings Breakdown

CRDO closed at $265.55, up 9.77% on the session. Credo Technology rallied sharply as a broad group of semiconductor and technology stocks moved higher, extending an already exceptional run that has seen the communication-equipment maker climb steadily through its 52-week range. The stock's strong postmarket momentum reflects sustained investor appetite for high-growth semiconductor exposure in the current market environment.

IONQ closed at $48.87, down 0.51% on the session. IonQ has retreated after a robust three-month rally, pulling back from the upper tier of its 52-week range as investors may be reassessing valuations following the stock's substantial gains through mid-year. Traders should monitor whether the pullback finds support or signals a broader consolidation before the next catalyst.

NOW closed at $107.93, up 1.51% on the session. ServiceNow's numbers increasingly contradict market fears that AI agents would disrupt its core enterprise workflow platform, suggesting the stock may be oversold relative to its operational performance. Investors watching the workflow automation space should monitor whether earnings ahead validate this disconnect between sentiment and reported results.

Rate Environment

Treasury yields closed Monday with the 2-year at 4.17%, the 10-year at 4.48%, and the 30-year at 4.97%, with the 10Y-2Y curve sitting at a normal +31 basis points. The 2-year yield at 4.17% trades above the Fed Funds rate of 3.63%, suggesting markets are not pricing in imminent additional easing despite the Fed's prior cuts. The current Fed Funds rate of 3.63% reflects an ongoing easing cycle, providing a modestly accommodative policy backdrop for rate-sensitive holdings. Credit spreads remain contained, with AAA corporates at 0.37% and BBB corporates at 0.94%, indicating little stress in the broader credit environment.

Bottom Line

Equities closed the session on firm footing, so the posture here is to stay constructive but watch for any overnight catalysts that could test today's momentum when Tuesday's open arrives.
