What a difference a day makes. It’s a fantastic rebound that’s orderly and inclusive with the strongest bounces in sectors that have seen the most selling in the past week or so. Financials are the best performer, although interest rates not helping. By the same token, growth is not popping as much as one might have assumed with the ten-year yield at current levels.
Conversely, those safe haven sectors are slowing down, as investors look out their foxholes, and for better places to be invested.
