The Pullback That Was Overdue
Posted on 10/17/2006 08:00 AM | Link | Post Comment
The market seems to be pulling back from its extended uptrend and overbought condition. You can look at the headlines (PPI) and blame it on that, or you can just accept that this pullback was overdue. Of course, it's still early, so we will have to see how the market closes.
Despite what looked like a big headline inflation figure (+0.6% vs. +0.2% consensus), the yield on the 10-year is dropping, down 5 bps to 4.74%. Go figure.
The Nasdaq and tech stocks are taking it on the chin, with several downgrades ahead of earnings season. Tonight we hear from YHOO, INTC, IBM, etc.
