Yields climb, extending losses
Yields continued to rise as the U.S. 10-year touched nearly 4.8% on Tuesday. This continued to pressure stocks as the S&P closed -1.37%, the Nasdaq -1.87% to barely stay above 13,000, and the Dow -1.29% to hover around 33,000.
Major movers included Tesla at -2.02%, the Bank of America -2.96%, Amazon -3.66%, AMD -3.09% and Intel 0.65% as one of the few gainers. Bitcoin declined 0.5% to $27,300.
The TSX extended losses by 0.81% as the index closed a hair above 19,000. There was a little more green on trader’s screens than Monday, but most sectors remained down. Staples were the best performer while financials, real estate and tech led the laggards. Banks, especially, sold off as TD closed -0.95%, the Bank of Nova Scotia -2.37% and Royal Bank -2.42%, all in heavy trading. On the flipside, mineral names flourished as Iamgold rallied 6.52% and Osisko Mining rose 5.51%. WTI crude recovered 0.85% to $89.50 a barrel.
