Bond yields retrace and spark a BTD rally

/

 

Buy the Dips” (BTD) participants received some vindication after the much-watched U.S Treasury yields retraced and sparked a rally in equity Indices.

The U.S 10-year note, which is a benchmark for market participants slipped to 1.539% from Friday’s peak at 1.626% after yesterday’s U.S 3-year note auction was well received. Although many remain sceptical the next test will be later this week with the 10 year and 30-year note auctions.

In the U.S all major Indices closed higher on Tuesday with the Nasdaq leading the pack and gained nearly 4% with Tesla stealing the show. U.S Equity Futures were lower Wednesday morning possibly waiting on more Stimulus news and Bond auctions. The U.S Dollar (DXY) is somewhat higher on Wednesday morning with Brent Crude trading lower by over 1%.

Here is what’s expected this week:

Trading term of the day

Buy the Dips (BTD) or a.k.a (BTFD)

"Buy the dips" means purchasing an asset after it has dropped in price. The belief here is that the new lower price represents a bargain as the "dip" is only a short-term blip and the asset, with time, is likely to bounce back and increase in value." – Investopedia

 

Take note: The outlook and levels might change as this outlook is released during the current days (Wednesday the 10th of March 2021) U.S Market open.
