Monday cash is open. 1:00 is not 4:00. Morning’s $86,140 already ran. Friday is still the last close.
Yahoo Finance, Monday 1:00 p.m. ET: Dow 51,240.88, +0.13% versus Friday’s 51,176.96. S&P 500 7,768.79, +0.60%. Nasdaq 27,418.88, +0.84%. Those are intraday prints. The cash close is 4:00 p.m. ET. We will not type a close at lunch.
Yahoo, same stamp: Bitcoin $85,280.38. That is not morning’s $86,139.99 at 8:03. That is not Sunday evening’s $86,440.00 at 7:01. WTI $90.01 / Brent $100.72 as of 12:50 p.m. ET. Friday’s oil close remains WTI $91.11 / Brent $102.25. Funds are still 3.75–4%, 12–0. We will not invent a hike or a cut on a Monday midday tape.
Morning already filed the unused pre-open: cash dark, YM 51,474 a future, not a Dow. We will not reprint 8:03 as first-day news, and we will not smash 51,240.88 into Friday’s 51,176.96 as if the session had already graded.
What this means for you
If you hold an index, 1:00 is a live tape, not the close. If you wanted this afternoon’s unused bitcoin, it is $85,280 at 1:00, not $86,140 at 8:03. Not investment advice.
Bottom line: Dow 51,241 at 1:00. BTC $85,280. Not a close. Not 8:03’s $86,140.
