PPI fell for the first time in nearly a year, thanks to lower gas prices, but wholesale inflation is still sticky. This data should help ease some inflation fears, supporting a bullish stance. European markets saw mixed action, with ASML's AI success countered by IBM's stumbles, showing the AI theme's **uneven impact** but overall strength. Meanwhile, BlackRock hitting $15 trillion in AUM signals strong institutional inflows, painting a positive backdrop.
Celcuity's drug delay and Sprout Social's layoffs are individual stories, but the macro picture remains bright for broad market momentum. With [BBX](/stocks/bbx) and [MSTR](/stocks/mstr) showing strong internal pulses and PnL, we ride the flow.

Today's regime is STRONG_BULL. We're leaning long, riding AI and momentum names into any dips. Keep stops tight and let winners run. The cross-market crypto pulse aligns. [Explore Radiant algorithms](/algorithms)
