S&P 500 Hits Resistance as Yields, Oil and the Dollar All Surge Together
A technical 'triple threat' pushed the S&P 500 below key chart support, even as bottom-up stock pickers keep finding winners.
A Technical Triple Threat
Treasury yields and oil prices surged and the dollar confirmed a breakout toward a longer-term uptrend, a combination that pushed the S&P 500 below key chart support. Traders are separately debating whether a "summer carry bias" in currency markets is myth or reality right now.
Stock Picking Still Finds Winners
Top Wall Street analysts are backing select stocks for their long-term growth potential despite the market noise. On the smaller-cap side, NioCorp delivered a 75% return after being flagged as undervalued, while Navitas dropped 51% after being flagged as overvalued.
Investor Anxiety Lingers
