The Monday Dividend Cafe recaps sharp intraday volatility as the Dow finished slightly up while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed down, with financials and utilities outperforming and industrials and technology lagging; the Nasdaq is down about 10% since the recent selloff began and many “Mag Seven” stocks are down over 20%, alongside steep declines in bitcoin and other high-risk names. David describes a broad risk-off posture intensified by the Iran-related military situation, notes WTI around $104 (up roughly 50% since the war began), and highlights relative strength in energy, midstream, refiners, and other commodity-sensitive areas. Bond yields remain elevated but the 10-year fell about nine basis points to 4.35%, and he argues long-end term premium is likely too high. He advises against disrupting a coherent investment plan amid uncertainty, covers brief policy updates (DHS funding, a 401(k) private markets rule proposal, David Sachs leaving his crypto/AI role, an Anthropic-related court ruling, and Fed futures), and previews an energy-focused Dividend Cafe later in the week.
