CLIENT TALKING POINTS
Nasdaq
+5.5% YTD continues to make a series of higher-all-time-highs as High Beta remains one of the top style factors to be long of when growth and inflation are accelerating – Nasdaq should signal some exhaustion (overbought) closer to 5699 with a higher low of support now down at 5605.
Oil
Nice pullback to take advantage of this week as WTI bounced right off the low-end of my $51.78-54.20 risk range; what we think people are missing in Oil is the TRENDING break-down in Oil Volatility (OVX) which now has a risk rage of 27-32; just trade the range.
UST 10YR
Surprising drop in the 10yr yield to the low-end of my 2.33-2.55% risk range (especially surprising with Dollar Up and Nasdaq Up this week), but markets are designed to surprise us – we're still a seller of Low Beta Yield Chasing exposures relative to everything Higher Beta we like – we should see #InflationAccelerating US Import Prices tomorrow.
