U.S. equity markets kicked off the session with broad gains across the board. The Dow Jones climbed 105.22 points, gaining 0.22% to reach 48,240.11. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 surged 31.69 points—that's a 0.46% jump—closing in at 6,866.19 right after the opening bell. The Nasdaq outpaced them both, rallying 152.95 points for a solid 0.66% gain, landing at 23,460.57. Green across the board like this tends to catch the attention of risk-on traders in crypto markets too, as traditional finance strength often flows through to digital assets.
