Afternoon Note
Technology stocks coming under renewed selling pressure with Nasdaq on track for its worst week since February 2021. The S&P 500 lost 0.11%, while the Dow reversed higher as investors rotated to value stocks.
The 10-year note is on the doorstep of 1.8%, up about 30 points to start the year and at its highest level since mid-January 2020. The yield has not closed above 1.74% since March 2021 but might do it today.
No wonder why financials (XLF) and regional banks (KRE) are seeing great action today. Both indexes hit a new intraday high today.

Carnage in the NASDAQ continues to be the emerging story today with more decliners than advancers, and more 52-week lows than highs.

We are seeing a change in leadership in the market as individual stocks see more volatility than compared to the indexes, and investors reconsider tech stocks as interest rise.
