US STOCKS
- ESZ4 holds its earlier paring of losses, currently at 6017 (-0.4%) off a low of 6000.25 a little after midday ET.
- It reverses most of yesterday’s 0.5% gain despite a 5bp decline in 10Y real yields offering a slightly more conducive macro backdrop.
- An overnight high of 6047.00 approached the bull trigger of 6053.25 (Nov 11 high). Support meanwhile is seen at 5944.60 (20-day EMA).
- The day’s losses are dragged by some megacaps, notably Nvidia (-2.0%) but also with solid declines for Tesla (-1.5%), Meta (-1.1%), Microsoft (-0.9%) and Amazon (-0.6%).
- Declines are unsurprisingly therefore led by IT (-1.3%) and consumer discretionary (-0.55%) whilst real estate (+0.95%) enjoys lower yields with health care (+0.6%) in second.
- The Nasdaq 100 (-0.9%) underperforms, whilst Dow Jones (-0.2%) and Russell 2000 (+0.2%) outperform the S&P 500.
