US Stocks At Near Record High, At A Time Bond Yield Is Rising

Yes, let's do that, Rich.

It's also

the

start of a new quarter.

Can you believe we're

in the final quarter of

2026? And the first day of Golden Week, I believe, today.

That is also correct.

So US stocks were mostly in the red overnight.

When they closed a few hours back, the S&P was down 0.3%.

The Dow Jones was down 0.9%.

But the Nasdaq was up 0.24%.

So a Tinge of green there.

Because it's not some green, it's a tinge of green.

When we take a look at how Asian markets closed yesterday, though, it was a, it's kind of like the reverse.

The Kospi was down 0.5%, but the rest and Singapore was down 0.7%.

But just to remind everyone that everyone else kind of closed in the green.

The FBMK LCI was up 0.4%.

Japan had a strong showing up 1.9%.

China, Shanghai was up 0.3%.

Hang Seng was up 0.37%.

And Australia was up 0.9%.

But once again, the US markets closed a few hours ago, a bit mixed.

And this was interesting because we did see a slight rebound in oil prices.

Although we also saw slower than expected PC inflation, which you'd expect to be... positive to the market.
