Dear Student,
After the market’s “strange” reaction to the strong December jobs report, we’re kicking off another week with more volatility.
The Dow climbed nearly 300 points today, thanks in part to movers like UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH) and Caterpillar Inc. (CAT).
But the S&P and Nasdaq dipped down 0.1% and 0.7%, respectively, for the second consecutive trading day.
In fact, volatility is up 30% in just the last few weeks alone, with the VIX jumping from 14 to 20 since Christmas.
SO… what’s causing today’s swing in volatility?
I’ve got two words for you: TREASURY YIELDS.
And in today’s video, I’ll break down:
- How treasury yields impact market volatility and stock performance…
- What the latest price action in commodities (like natural gas and gold) tell us about overall market trends…
- Why tech tools, like the one I’ll show you, are VITAL to your trading success in 2025… AND
- The most important crypto update you need to know this week.
Click on the video below – and let’s get started…
Have a great weekend!
