Traders Sell Everything as Dollar & Yields Soar to 3-Month Highs
US Stocks dropped for the third day in a row today (longest streak since early Sept) with the S&P's worst loss in seven weeks. It seems equity market bulls finally noticed the recent explosion in rates.
The US 10yr for example now yields 4.24% and there is now a market-wide rethink of rate-cut expectations (lower/hawkish), especially for next year...
...and that all weighed on US stocks bigly today. There was a small comeback after The Beige Book signalled some dovishness, but Nasdaq was the day's biggest loser (down over 2% at one point)...
All seven of the Mag7 stocks were down overnight - that is the first time that's happened since Sept 6th...

Happy Thursday!
