State of Play
Stocks closed higher yesterday thanks mainly to big tech. As we eye or board of indicators for signs of direction at 0700, things are quiet:
Stock index futures are pointing to small losses. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 are down 0.3% each;
Bonds are seeing a few bids. The 10-year yield is down 4 basis points to 4.42% (yields move inversely to prices);
Commodities have come back to earth a bit after yesterday’s rally. WTI crude oil is unchanged trading around $62.70/barrel. Copper is down 1.5%. Gold and silver are down <1%;
Cryptos aren’t doing anything. Bitcoin is up <1% to trade around $105,000.
