Afternoon Note
The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment declined for the first time in four months (preliminary data). The survey, around 85% of it, was completed before the bank headlines started. There is a great possibility sentiment has gotten worse since then. There is a silver lining, however, as inflation expectations slowed for both 1-year (3.8% vs. 4.1% last month) and 5-year (2.8% vs.2.9% last month).
Banks are getting rocked again. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking Index ETF (KRE) is down 5.5% and Financials is the worst performing sector.
Market breadth is overwhelmingly bearish.
