Marketbites: Stocks sell off as Treasury Yield Hits 4.15%

MARKET PERFORMANCE:
 

Portfolio Manager Commentary:

Stocks snapped a two-day winning streak amid a sharp rise in Treasury yields. Although earnings season is off to a good start, the high Treasury yields suggest recession fears are still intact. The 10-year yield traded as high as 4.14%, the highest level since July 23, 2008.

Netflix ended the day finishing up 13% following their strong earnings report Tuesday. United Airlines also performed well, rising 5% after beating estimates. The airline emphasized how resilient travel demand will help drive profit through the end of the year. Tesla reported their quarterly earnings after hours and captured a near-record quarterly profit amid growth concerns for the company. Still, their quarterly revenue of $21.5 billion is a record for Tesla, up from around $13.8 billion in last year’s third quarter. Even with these record numbers, the estimates were missed and sent the stock down 4% after-hours.

Chart of the Day:

Federal officials working on the government response to Covid-19 are under scrutiny for 'exquisite timing' of their stock trades. Some sold in January 2020 when the government began mobilizing against the threat while others bought shares as a market-rescue plan was taking shape.
