Big-Tech Breaks Weekly Win Streak, Bonds Shrug Off Inflation-Fest

Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.

It was a week of transitory-trampling inflation prints with CPI, PPI, Import/Export Prices, UMich inflation expectations, and the concomitant 'hangover' as buyers' sentiment (for homes/cars/durables) crashed due to the soaring prices… and stocks did not like it (especially Small Caps). As we noted earlier, there was a big drop in gamma after the open's OPEX which enabled today's pain (the last 3 Fridays have been big up days)… Nasdaq has been up 8 weeks in a row before this week…

S&P 500 e-mini futures have printed all-time highs in 13 of the last 16 sessions. This was the first weekly drop in Nasdaq since mid-May, and the worst week for Russell 2000 since Jan 2021… and worst week for Small Caps since Oct 2020.

The market's message to Powell…

Gold is up for the 4th straight week (albeit with an ugly end to the week)…

Finally, as @Not_Jim_Cramer notes, the plunge in the S&P's real dividend yield has not ended well in the past for stocks…

And don't forget Peter Lynch's "Rule of 20"…
