Wishing all a great trading week ahead when markets open on TUESDAY
The “BANKSTERS”, GOVT, & WALL STREET are celebrating newest FED holiday (JUNETEENTH)
and thankfully over 100 years ago, slavery ended & hopefully great melting pot will come even more together
every human being is precious & created in the image of our creator according to the good book 🙂
RALLY TIME on WALL STREET … as this is more about being OVERSOLD
All is NOT yet well on MAIN/K/WALL streets with gas/inflation/supply-chain
Still a little “Sweet Feed” for WALL ST bulls is a good thing these days 🙂HAPPY 1ST DAY OF SUMMER (with one of best songs from 1964) 🙂
U.S. Treasuries began the holiday-shortened week on a mostly lower note while the 3-yr note outperformed, finishing with a slimmer loss. Treasuries recorded the bulk of their losses at the open as the cash marked adjusted to yesterday’s retreat in Treasury futures.
Treasuries attempted a rebound at the start, but found resistance in short order, slipping to fresh lows just as equities rallied out of the gate. However, the early weakness did not invite additional selling, as Treasuries spent the day in a sideways range just above their lows with longer tenors showing relative weakness while shorter tenors outperformed, finishing closer to their flat lines.
