Good morning Asia! A sea of red for US stock market overnight. Even the outperforming cyclical/value stocks were not spared as traders took on a “sell everything” mindset due to a strong up move in long dated US Treasury yields..

Despite Fed Powell “assurance” that tapering of bond buying is likely not happening in the near to mid term.
Scorecard:
SP 500 $SPX -2.45%(3829)
Nasdaq 100 $NDX -3.56%(12828)
Dow Jones $INDU -1.75%(31402)
Russell 2000 $RUT -3.69%(2200)

As per highlighted earlier to watch the 1.38% major resistance on the US 10 year Treasury yield, it broke above 1.38% with a daily close at 1.53%, +15 bps, steepest single day gain since 4 Aug 2020.

Expected positive following through seen in the major US stock indices after its prior day of bullish reversal with cyclical/value plays continue to extend their outperformance that pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average to fresh ATH (less weightage in tech stocks)

Scorecard:
SP 500 $SPX +1.14%(3925)
Nasdaq 100 $NDX +0.81%(13302)
Dow Jones $INDU +1.35%(31961)
Russell 2000 $RUT +2.38%(2284)

The worse hit $NDX has managed to reverse its initial loss of close to -1.69% when the 10 year US Treasury yield breached above 1.38% major resistance

The 10 year US Treasury yield $TNX printed an intraday high of 1.43% before closing at 1.38% which reinforced the recovery in $NDX & extended the gains for the rest of the US stock indices.

The worst hit big tech heavy Nasdaq 100 recorded intraday -3.5% breached below 13190/100 key MT pivotal support (12758 low) before it reversed back up to close at 13194. Medium term uptrend intact as dip buyers came in to support

Scorecard:
SP 500 $SPX +0.13%(3881)
Nasdaq 100 $NDX -0.22%(13194)
Dow Jones $INDU +0.05%(31537)
