Summary

closing hour action: a new intraday high of 5757, just 10pts shy of the recent hist’ high. S/t momentum ticked upward, settling on the moderately high side.

… and that concludes a Tuesday. It was a net bullish day… although price action feels very tired ahead of CPI-Thursday, and Q3 earnings. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears.

The US 10yr yield printing 4.057%… with key resistance… 4.06%

Higher yields > lower bonds.

notable stock: JPM

Earnings due early Friday should be fine.
I just wonder if the outlook will include the admission that further rate cuts will cut into net interest income.

Here… a day of sunshine and showers.
Have a good evening
