There’s more underlying strength today than index level performance may suggest. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) is up 1.4% versus a 0.6% gain in the market-cap weighted S&P 500. Also, advancers lead decliners by a greater than 3-to-1 margin at the NYSE and a 3-to-2 margin at the Nasdaq.
Most of the 11 S&P 500 sector trade up led by materials (+1.8%), financials (+1.8%), and energy (+1.6%). Meanwhile, lagging mega cap stocks are weighing on their respective S&P 500 sectors — information technology (-0.6%), communication services (flat), and consumer discretionary (+0.3%) — leading them to last place on the leaderboard.
U.S. Treasuries lows after backpedaling from their initial highs.
Treasuries began dipping immediately after the cash open after a night that saw strength from Treasury futures. Shorter tenors led the overnight advance, but they have also been at the forefront of the recent reversal from opening levels. The early pullback has lifted the 30-yr yield above its opening level from Friday while yields on shorter tenors remain below their opening levels from the Friday session. Equities are off to a mixed start with the S&P 500 (+0.4%) holding a modest gain while the Nasdaq (-0.3%) lags.

Shares of First Republic Bank continued to suffer sharp losses today after FRC’s debt was downgraded at S&P to B+ from BB+. There was a short-lived recovery attempt in FRC when The Wall Street Journal reported that JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM 127.14, +1.33, +1.1%) Jamie Dimon is leading talks with executives at other banks about a deal that could involve converting the previously announced $30 billion in deposits into a capital infusion.
