The futures are trading higher on Tuesday after a slow start to the holiday-shortened trading week. All of the major indices closed lower Monday, and one of the main reasons for the selling across Wall Street was yet another Covid lockdown in China. Those worries resurfaced after most strategists felt that the situation in China from a lockdown perspective was loosening. Toss in the ongoing worries of a higher terminal rate and some negative earnings revisions, and the sellers had all the ammo they needed.

Treasury rates were flat across the yield curve after serious buying last week knocked the yield on the 10-year note and 30-year bond back to levels printed in early October. The one new concern is the widening of the inversion between the 90-day t-bill and the 10-year note which closed Monday at 3.83% versus the 4.41% 3-month paper. Bond traders see the inversion as a recession indicator.

Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate both initially plunged Monday after OPEC, in a huge reversal, said they are considering increasing production. Less than 60 days ago, they were talking about a 2 million barrel-per-day cut. With a strong afternoon rally, both the major benchmarks closed flat. Natural gas was the big winner Monday, closing up over 6% as cold weather swept across the nation. Gold and Bitcoin both closed lower Monday.
