What If?

If you had put $1,000 into Crude Oil yesterday, you'd have $1,056.10 today.


The Big Picture

Oil did the damage. Crude jumped 5.61%, and that one move reset the inflation math for every other asset. Long bonds fell with it, TLT down 1.16%, which means the 20 year yield climbed. Higher yields hit the most expensive stocks first: technology dropped 1.41%, the Nasdaq 100 fell 1.06%, and the S&P 500 finished down 0.6%. The strange part is what did not work. Gold fell 1.73% and silver 5.3%, the biggest loss on the board. Metals usually catch a bid on a day like this. They got sold instead, which looks like forced position cutting rather than a view on inflation. The dollar picked up the flows, gaining 0.38% to 98.99, with USD/JPY at 154.18. Bitcoin slipped 1.19% to $77,247. CNN's Fear and Greed Index sits at 33. Watch whether silver stabilizes near current levels.
