Team,

The slow motion selloff finally accelerated! Let’s jump into today’s action 👊

-Andrew


Equity Dashboard

13.5% advancers and volatility popped!

Investors attempted to hide out in the safety of NVDA…of course!

Treasuries

Treasuries were stronger than I would have expected given the strong Japanese GDP data overnight. 10yr treasury futures tested levels not seen since Nov ‘22, but VERY briefly before dip buyers came in. How much more downside is left in treasuries?

The MOVE index bumped up into trend resistance.

FX

The dollar index continues its ascent.

Equity Volatility

Volatility expanded today, but overall is still looks like a coiled spring!

Equity Index MTD August Performance

The indices are experiencing a pullback in August.
