Good MorningUp one day and down the next, the major indices posted their biggest declines in months on Wednesday due to rising bond yields. The S&P 500 was down more than 2.6% at the low of the day with the NASDAQ leading and the Dow Jones lagging. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite fell more than 3.6% and is now down more than 7.0% from the high. Because bearish momentum on the rise it seems like a move lower will come sooner than a move to new all-time highs.
In bond news, the yield on the 10-year treasury made its largest single-day gain in months peaking out just above 1.65%. The rise in bond yields is bullish in that it suggests economic conditions are improving. The market moved lower, however, as risk-averse investors take money off the table and park it in what are now comparably yielding and much safer U.S. treasuries. The average yield for S&P 500 stocks is about 1.45%.
