MARKET PULSE
U.S. indices closed higher on July 14 — the S&P 500 +0.38% to 7,543.89 and the Nasdaq +0.90% to 26,107 on cooler June CPI (3.5% y/y) and record bank earnings — but pre-market July 15 futures are softer (S&P futures −0.8%) as the VIX jumped 14% to 17.16, WTI holds near $79.83 on renewed Iran strike threats, and ASML pre-market reports Q2 sales of €9.3B with FY26 guidance raised to €43–45B.
AIZero of three crash triggers are active (VIX 17.16, 10Y-2Y +35 bps, HY OAS 269 bps), but risk #1 (Hormuz/oil) escalated and risk #2 (Warsh hawkish tone) rose today despite soft CPI — ASML's beat partially offsets the AI-capex scare but does not eliminate it.
ASML reported Q2 net sales of €9.3B (54.0% gross margin, €7.59 EPS) and raised full-year 2026 sales guidance to €43–45B from €36–40B, with Q3 guided to €11–12B — the clearest datapoint yet that AI lithography demand is…
