STATE OF THE MARKETS
Stocks rebound but selling pressure remains. US stocks rebounded and closed higher on Tuesday but remain under selling pressure as long term investors continue to sell on rally. Dow (+0.73%), Nasdaq (+0.76%), and S&P (+0.43%) including Russell (+1.09%) all in the green as demand for bonds fell, sending yields higher across the board. The 2Y climbed to 1.35% while the 5Y to 1.82% as the longer 10Y inched higher to 1.97% and the 30Y to 2.26%. The Dollar (DXY) was little changed at 95.60 mark.
In the commodities market, profit taking sent crude lower to $87.50/bl while inflation concerns continued to press gold higher to $1,828.65/oz before fixed at $1,825.68/oz as New York closed. At the same time, iron ore climbed past $150/tn as China continued to press more demand on the commodity.
In the FX space, the ordeal remains that Euro continues to reign in the medium and long term demands while remaining under offers with Dollar, Swiss and Yen in the short term. Overall sentiments look bullish as Yen and Swiss were sent to the back burner.
On Wednesday, markets look for earnings reports from Disney (DIS), Pepsi (PEP), CVS Health (CVS), CME Group (CME), Uber Tech (UBER), Honda Motor (HMC) and Motorola (MSI) as well as the US mortgage index. The EIA petroleum status report will be in the spotlight for energy traders.
