— Interest rates continue to push higher— Weakness in the growth stocks
— Technical factors
The S&P 500 continues to trade lower by 0.8% amid little interest to buy the dip.
The mega-caps are exerting key weakness on the benchmark index with the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (MGK 223.49, -4.25, -1.9%) down roughly 2%.
The mega-caps are feeling the burden of higher interest rates, which factor negatively in valuations. The 10-yr yield is currently up four basis points to 2.75% on top of last week’s 34-basis-point increase.
Energy stocks have extended losses as oil prices drop 4.3% to $94.05/bbl amid demand concerns attributed to the COVID lockdowns in Shanghai.
Negative price momentum and increased available supply from strategic reserves are other factors driving oil prices lower.
The S&P 500 energy sector is currently down 2.6% to lead all sectors in losses.
Bonds: Longer Tenors Remain Behind
Rates running the markets again
U.S. Treasuries continue holding losses with 10s and 30s trading a bit behind shorter tenors. Treasuries marked session lows at the open, followed by a bounce that briefly returned the long bond and the 10-yr note to little changed, but recent action saw a slip toward opening lows. Shorter tenors trade above their opening levels with the 2-yr note currently flat for the day.
In equities, the Nasdaq (-1.3%) trades behind the S&P 500 (-0.9%) while the Dow (-0.2%) outperforms.
