Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared in a research note from Frank Cappelleri, Cheif Market Technician at Instinet. It’s a line chart of the 10-year US Treasury Yield testing its 52-week low. Frank notes that each rally has been faded in 2019, as shown by the red circles. He adds that the fallout in yields has put pressure on the Financial sector ($XLF) as it has struggled to reach a new 52-wk high this year. On the other hand, it has given a bid to the Utility sector ($XLU) which is consolidating near all-time highs.
