    Ok one more time ….

    U.S. Treasuries sit on their lows with shorter tenors remaining behind. Treasuries opened the day on a sharply lower note while recent trade saw 10s and 30s slip to fresh lows. Equities started the day on a weak note with the S&P 500 (-2.7%) staying a bit ahead of the Nasdaq (-3.1%). Last week, the market saw a jump in expectations for the possibility of a 75-bps rate hike on Wednesday.

    The fed funds futures market ended last week with a 21.3% implied likelihood of a 75-bps increase and the implied probability of such a move increased to 30.0% today. High-yield debt is showing notable weakness with the iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG 73.02, -2.61, -3.5%) falling to its lowest level since March 2020.

    ^^^^ +1s for excellent posts to highlight weekly trading concerns ahead 🙂
    And BITCOIN is down 15% today alone in 23,000 range – along with all other kryptonite investments
    as INFLATION + rising interest rates are making 2022 a bad year for stocks & even USA MAIN STREET itself
    and I do hope tide turns for sake of those struggling – but it is wise to hunker & bunker down for now

    IN Asia, China rose 1.0% while Japan dropped 1.3%. The Shanghai Composite reversed early losses after a buying spree took place in the last hour. This helped the index close at the high of the day. In Japan, the Nikkei followed Wall Street lower to notch its third consecutive loss. Market heavyweight, SoftBank, continued to outpace declines with a loss of nearly 3% on Tuesday.
    In Europe, the major bourses saw an early bid give way to modest declines. Hotter than expected inflation data out of Germany threw cold water on the markets. The German CPI for May rose 0.9% and far exceeded the forecast of 0.0%. Semiconductors are off to a weak start with STMicroelectronics and Infineon down 1-2%.
