What I was reading

Fed Funds Rate: 3.62 (as of 2026-06-11)
10Y-2Y Spread: 0.39 (as of 2026-06-12)
VIX: 17.68 (as of 2026-06-12)
CPI: 333.979 (as of 2026-05-01)

Mostly right — ES prediction stated +0.5% to -0.3% range over 24h. SPY closed at -0.3% (within predicted lower bound). QQQ at -1.3% and broader weakness visible, but ES/SPY stayed within predicted tight range. No tail-risk spike evident in market breadth (IWM -0.3%, defensive moves present but not panic). Thesis on elevated real yields holding held up. Minor miss on QQQ magnitude but core ES/SPY prediction validated.
