Afternoon Note
After a massive selloff yesterday, the markets have fluctuated between gains and losses in today’s session. The first rally attempt failed, which was expected. We are impressed there has been a second try, but still, nobody is taking the bait.
Treasuries are pulling back, but the 10-year note neared 1.9% earlier today. Commodities are also higher with Aluminum reaching a record high and above $3,000/tonne and Copper heading again towards $10,000/tonne.
A big move in the WTI market today with the soon to expire February contract (Friday) rallying quite a lot above the March contract.
Consumer Staples is leading in today’s session driven by Procter & Gamble’s (PG) earnings results this morning, which beat consensus and raised its full-year guidance.

It’s going to be interesting to see if this bounce settles into the close. Most indices are still under their 50-day moving average with Nasdaq within striking distance of a correction.
