  • 11:26 AM Today's decline puts the S&P red on a Y/Y basis, -1.1% vs. +29.6% for everyone's favorite hated asset class (TLT). SPY is +4% YTD, but being threatened by Treasurys, +2.4%. On this day in 2000, the S&P opened 7% higher than its current level, notes Pattern Traders.

  • Tuesday 10:55 AM A nice bookend to Goldman's bell-ringing March 21 buy stocks/sell bonds call, David Kostin and crew are today out with a bearish note warning about poor near-term prospects for stocks. The S&P vs. Treasurys in the period before and after the March 21 boner.

  • Monday 7:57 AM So bearish on Treasury bonds just a few weeks ago at yields 70 basis points higher, growing numbers of bond managers now posit the 10-year could fall to 1.5% (currently 1.74%). "Fundamentals are out the window at this point," says Matthew Tuttle, who last week jettisoned a lot of stocks and high-yield paper from his portfolio to buy Treasurys. Cycles, gotta love cycles.

  • Friday 12:55 PM The yield on JGBs falls to 0.815%, the lowest level since 2003. Folks of a certain age will remember that summer and remember the seeming impossibility of that level. We're not only back, but the rest of the world is headed there too. German 10-year Bunds, 1.43%, U.S. 10-years, 1.71%. At the short end, Germany has gone even further, its 2-years yielding 0.05% vs. Japan at 0.10%.
