Bond Bloodbath Sparks Stock Slump As Dollar ‘Dead-Cat’ Bounces
Worst day for stocks and bonds in 6 weeks…
Worst day for S&P in 5 months…
Did bonds just spoil the stock market’s fun?
Ugly overnight in Chinese stocks…
After Friday’s manic melt-up in US equities, Monday was a disappointment with China weakness sending futs lower overnight, the standard cash-opening ramp failed and a weak close… (month-end?)

Also notable is the pattern of post-Asia-close bond-buying returns…
The Dollar rebounded – most since October – briefly but once it tagged Trump’s rescue bid highs, it rolled over for the rest of the day
Cryptos were lower on the day but remain notably higher post-Friday’s close…
The Dollar’s modest gain was enough to spook commodities which were all lower today…
Finally, we noted that investors can now earn 35bps more yield on a 2Y Treasury note than on the S&P’s dividend yield – the most since Aug 2008…
