S&P 500 Opens 24.45 Points Higher at 7,616.85

Broad-based opening gains across all three major averages point to a risk-on tone at the start of the session, with the Dow's percentage move edging out the Nasdaq's — a tilt that suggests the bid is not purely concentrated in growth names. For crypto and RWA markets, the read-through is indirect: equity strength of this kind tends to reflect general risk appetite rather than anything asset-specific. Whether the advance holds through the session, or fades as it has on other openings, is the open question worth watching.
