Bond Bloodbath Batters Big-Tech As Small Caps Surge On Short-Squeeze

Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.

Futures were all positive overnight, but as the European session started, selling pressure in stocks began with Nasdaq notably underperforming into the US cash open. At the equity open, things went just a little bit turbo as Small Caps exploded higher and Big Tech tumbled…NOTE things weakened a little into the close (after Fed's Kaplan joined Rosenburg in retirement)…

Today's surge in Small Caps relative to Nasdaq was the largest divergence since March and pushed the pair up to significant resistance…

Biggest short-squeeze in 6 weeks today…

Just as we noted earlier, 4430 was the key level for the S&P today…

Nasdaq 100 is on course for its worst month since October 2020…

But we can still hear all the freshly minted stock trading experts cry…

Treasury yields made lots of headlines today, extending the carnage from last week with a wall of selling starting as Europe opened. Chaos hit the TSY market around the Durable Goods data and the cash equity open, but it was the belly that underperformed…

30Y Yields topped 2.00% (spiking to almost 2.05% intraday), but hit resistance there again and ended back below 2.00%…

10Y Yield rose above 1.50% – its highest since June – but was also unable to hold it and closed below 1.50%…

The dollar ended unchanged, having chopped around all day (remaining well within the range created during The Fed day moves)…

Cryptos have has a wild ride over the last few days, plunging on China's "ban" then recovering most it and then fading a little today…

WTI continued to its rise, back up near early July highs at almost $76 for the front-month…

NatGas futures surged once again, topping the mid-month highs to its highest since Feb 2014…

And gold was unchanged…

Finally, despite all the jawboning from Washington, Friday's optimism about getting a debt ceiling done in a timely manner has evaporated with the kink in the Bill curve now at its widest in this cycle…

What will it take to get all the Democrats to line up? a 20% plus drop in stocks maybe?
