AlexSecret/iStock via Getty Images By Elior Manier Another crazy month for markets is ending today, and investors are sighing after an impressive gap lower. The reasoning behind the risk-off flows was that US embassies in the Middle East had called for their staff to prepare security measures over the weekend, leading to a spike in oil to $68 and a rough pre-open session. Dow Jones was leading indexes lower, dipping to -1.78% before rebounding. Benchmarks are now attempting to erase the entire overnight drop; however, this may prove difficult as traders prepare for a volatile session close, pulled on both sides by weekend risk and month-end flow volatility. The rebound is strong, with recent Chicago PMI data (57.7 vs 52.8 exp) confirming that US data is far from weakening; quite the opposite, in fact. Produce prices have risen to 8-month highs amid elevated activity, further pressuring prices. This could prevent further rate cuts and hurt sentiment in the near term. This will prove challenging for risk sentiment, but looking at the immediate action, bulls and bears are just fighting within a range. Let's look at the technical situation by diving into today's session charts and key trading levels for the major US indices: the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500. Current Session's Stock Heatmap Current picture for the Stock Market (11:56 A.M. ET) - Source: TradingView - February 27, 2026 While the Dow struggled the most during overnight futures trading, defensive stocks are taking the lead again against the tech and financial sectors, seeing a second consecutive day of outflows. Nvidia ( NVDA ) is leading to the downside along with JPMorgan ( JPM ), as investors keep punishing the record numbers and projections and rotating back to the more traditional, HALO stocks. It seems that participants are agreeing that we are slowly shifting towards the late cycle in the most powerful economy.

Chinese scientists have used a cutting-edge gene-editing tool to correct a DNA mutation responsible for cognitive and behavioural problems – a move that could eventually lead to the development of new autism therapies.

In lab tests, mice that had been engineered to have the mutation showed a striking change in their behaviour, such as the way they interacted with other mice, after being given an injection to introduce the edited genes. The Shanghai-based research team is looking for ways to...

Are You Being Watched By Smart Glasses? Here's How To Check Meta's Ray-Bans are seeing growing adoption among everyday consumers, highlighting an affordability sweet spot for AI-powered wearables as Apple is expected to enter the space with its own smart glasses following its failed Vision Pro launch. Yet, as AI-powered glasses gain popularity, they introduce new privacy and security concerns, with one smartphone app emerging as an early countermeasure. As first reported by tech blog 404 Media , the new smartphone app Nearby Glasses scans the Bluetooth signature emitted by smart glasses and sends a push notification to the user if a device is detected nearby. " I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech ," the app's developer, Yves Jeanrenaud, told 404 Media. The emergence of this app comes as we've been highlighting that mass adoption of smart glasses is in its early stages; it is happening now, and we've already mapped the supply chain tied to how to profit from the explosion of these glasses (as well as highlighted Meta's supplier) . But alongside that adoption curve comes a series of risks, from surveillance concerns to child safety issues. Simply put, not everyone wants to be recorded. "This is a tech solution to a social problem exaggerated by technology. I do not want to promote tech solutionism, nor do I want people to feel falsely secure. It's still imperfect," Jeanrenaud said. Remember when Apple had to start warning everyone about AirTags around them? Well, Tim Cook may eventually have to roll out a similar update for smart glasses if there's enough public uproar.
