Away From Stocks: In rates, the long bond yield climbed 5 bps to 4.92%. Commodities saw mixed action: WTI crude eased to $64 a barrel, while gold caught a bid, advancing nearly 1% to $3,447 an ounce. Digital assets weakened, with Bitcoin sliding to $108,500, while equity volatility edged higher, as the VIX added nearly a point to the mid-15s.
