Daily Insights
Stocks opened sharply amid falling rates, trade fears. The People’s Bank of China set its yuan target just a hair stronger than 7 per dollar, a relief to those worried about the psychologically significant round number, but weaker than some had anticipated. Unfortunately, that news wasn’t enough, however, as early-morning gains in futures reversed ahead of the open. Fresh multi-year lows in the 10-year Treasury and further declines in global yields added to the market’s angst amid escalated trade tensions. Look for more on the U.S.-China trade dispute later today on the LPL Research Blog. We discussed market volatility on the blog yesterday, in case you missed it.
