The futures traded higher Tuesday, after the markets tried to push a follow-through rally across the major indexes on Monday. But the rally failed and all three closed lower. With the quarter ending on Thursday, it is very possible that we see some strength in the next few days as fund managers realign portfolios with the proverbial window dressing and add shares of companies that have outperformed during the second quarter.
One thing is for sure. With second-quarter earnings reports right around the corner, companies that miss estimates or offer weak forward guidance can count on being taken to the proverbial woodshed.
The sellers returned to the Treasury market Monday, as yields were higher across the board, mirroring Friday’s weakness. The benchmark 30-year bond closed right at the 3.30% level. Both Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude closed modestly higher, while gold closed flat, and Bitcoin was down over 1%.
