Market Action: All three major indices at or near all-time highs at midday. IWM leading (+0.28%) as small cap rotation continues. Energy sector strongest (+2.85%) as oil hits 3-month high at $88.50. Volatility declining (VIX -3.05%) supports risk-on sentiment.

Key Catalysts: Oil at $88.50 (+4.2%) driving energy stocks to 3-month gains. TSLA down 3.5% on delivery guidance cuts, dragging EV sector. BA up 5.3% on multiple upgrades, leading industrials. Watch NVDA earnings after close.

Afternoon Setup: Lock in partial profits on winning positions (especially energy). Watch for afternoon profit taking at 3 PM. Reduce position size ahead of NVDA earnings to manage risk. Consider riding small cap momentum.
