12pm update – lunchtime chop

US equities remain choppy, if still leaning on the weaker side.

Summary

Little to add.
I have to think there is high threat of some late day cooling towards 4100.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX

Yields are higher… with rate hike TEN of 25bps, due May 3rd.
Broader price structure is a giant bull flag, and is highly suggestive of 5%, with secondary of 7%.

Its arguable that any severe upset about the US debt ceiling and/or Dollar, would send bond prices collapsing, with the US 10yr around 7%. The latter would arguably sync with sp’2000/1500.


notable fin: SCHW

A second day lower. The problems will likely be concerns about further bank runs, and the main market.

notable trans: UAL

A second day lower. Those stupid enough to have been buying into the (lousy) earnings are getting ground down.

notable miner: LAC

The Chile nationalisation of its Lithium mines, makes US domestic lithium mining even more important!
