The dollar index is a strengthening a little bit. The dxy is above 97 today. Decisionmaking the 10 year yield at 70 basis points. Crude oil not going anywhere today. 36. 37 a barrel. Have seen an interesting two days. Equities having their worst day since march and much like march, any day we saw declines of 5 or more, we followed that with a rebound today. A lot of this we have seen play out in the session so far. I want to note that the european closed a few hours ago, we saw stocks fall below yesterday indicate investors taking some a risk off the table as we head into the weekend. See if a similar phenomenon happens at the u. S. Close. He said he is watching very carefully to see the gains on friday and again into monday. Speaking of risk and the willingness to take it, something we have been talking about is the willingness of retail investors. Of thosento some cheaper areas of the market like travel. That has led them to outperform hedge funds. They are more heavily position towa
As well as up. Romaine you really have to go back to the lows we were in in march. What was an improbable rally of 40 less on the major indices, even with the big selloff, if anyone used february and march as an entry point, you are still up 20 . Taylor in the last hour seeing this final hour of trading was crucial. To see yesterdays big selloff was or something indicative of more selling to come. This last crucial hour, really important to show us where sentiment is. Speaking of sentiment, look at this chart. I wanted to give you an update because we talked about the record low ratio on the put call back to the earliest this week back in nine years back to 2011. We got an update, the ratio is right in line with the one year average. Fear would be higher if the put call ratio was higher. You are not getting the type of fear perhaps we were starting to see yesterday. Lets take a look at the individual stocks that were moving, lululemon, i always want to see what is moving to the downsid
Josh brown , some of the individual runs look amazing amazon 7, facebook 7 how long can this continue the other streak thats happening through the Looking Glass is continuing on pace as well small cap stocks look Terrible Bank stocks are the worst place you could be right now now you have the cruise lines and travel related stocks. Those are rolling back over again. I guess retail and energy are hanging in a bit better but the have notes are continuing to have not and so those trends can go on for a lot longer than most people can stomach watching them especially if they are on the wrong side of that its a very difficult market whats important to point out, its not just that nasdaq stocks are doing well the gains are particularly concentrated among the largest nasdaq stocks.

Yes, such a creature exists in the wild qqew is negative 2 on the year while the
Its first threeday decline since early march. I wanted to focus on that. Month since 1987 in the month of april. Abigail something that can be so tricky, we have that huge decline down, a bear market, and then a rebound rally. Many thinking it is a bear market reflex rally. Not just these three down days, the worst since march 24. In the rally we have had recently, we are in the worst stretch, the longest stretch. When these turns happen, it is subtle. On top of these three down days is the fact we are headed to the thirddown week in a row. Last week and the week before, two down weeks. Inflection points and what can be a volatile sideways range is what we are setting up for this year given the uncertainty out there. Right now, there are some signals that we may be heading back down toward this years low. David thank you to Abigail Doolittle. For that report on markets do little for that report on markets.
