This is an abridged version of our Daily Report.
Panic and reverse
Stocks suffered a panic day on Monday, then reversed early losses to close higher. That matches several other instances that led to consistent returns going forward.
There was volatile back-and-forth then another run at the prior highs.
Notable extremes
There was no shortage of extremes on Monday and many of them are redundant. Among the most notable, though, are that every member of the Nasdaq 100 declined but on Tuesday the index managed to reverse hard from a 30-day low. At the same time, more than 2 months of gains were wiped out in just a few sessions.
Heavy selling in high yield
The high-yield (junk) bond market has seen just has lopsided selling as equities. The advance/decline figures have been horrid, with an average of 743 more declining bonds than rising ones over the past three sessions.
Betting on a volatility drop
Our VIX Sentiment model soared above 5 on Tuesday, meaning that there was a whole lot of smart money traders betting that the jump was going to be short-lived. These traders are typically correct.
