Sour Session as Stocks Spiral

EQUITIES
  • Asia-Pac equities set the tone Monday, with weakness in Japanese & Hong Kong stocks bleeding through into the European morning and well into the Wall Street session.
  • A resolutely negative open for US cash markets was worsened by a sizeable sell order of close to 2,000 names - the fifth largest sell order of 2021 and the seventh largest of the past twelve months.
  • Energy and financials names bore the brunt with soft oil prices working against oil & gas names while financials suffered from the flatter US yield curve. COVID concerns also remained paramount, with United Airlines and Boeing among the worst performers in the S&P500.
  • Earnings season takes focus again this week, with Netflix and Philip Morris International both due Tuesday.
