… and that concludes a Monday. A day of rather tedious chop, and that could easily be the case for much of this week, and more so… July 4th week. We do have a fair number of political events though… starting this Thursday evening.

–
notable bond yield proxy: TNX

Yields a little weak, but its broad chop.
I’ll be surprised if <4.00%
–

notable bond ETF: TLT

Lower yields > higher bonds.
–

notable banking ETF: KRE

Regional banks higher for the fourth day of five.
Broadly though… its all chop.
I have to expect eventual problems, but maybe this drags out into 2025?
