Netflix closed higher into earnings…

 

As the world waits with bated breath to see if the FAANGs can do it again…

 

Banks soared today, erasing Friday’s losses…

 

Are Semis signaling trouble ahead for the S&P?…

 

Bonds & Stocks remain in their own worlds…

 

Treasury yields ended the day higher, but rallied after Europe closed…

 

The yield curve popped… and dropped…

 

The Dollar drifted lower today, extending Friday’s reversal…

 

In commodity land, PMs and copper went nowhere fast…
