Significant Pressure In Stock Market But Limited Impact
The stock market faced significant pressure today, with a limited impact from Target's (TGT) earnings report. The major indices experienced declines, especially small-cap Russell 2000 (-2.8%). UnitedHealth Group (UNH) dropped 5.8% following an HSBC downgrade and a report about nursing home practices, which the company disputed. The broader market decline was reflected in a near 9-to-1 ratio of decliners to advancers at the NYSE and a 4-to-1 margin at Nasdaq. The MBA Mortgage Applications Index decreased by 5.1% as both refinance and purchase applications fell due to rising mortgage rates. Ten Out Of Eleven S&P 500 Sector Ended In The Red Ten out of eleven S&P 500 sectors fell, with real estate, health care, financials, consumer discretionary, and utilities seeing significant losses

Chart of the Week - Stocks are expensive, bonds are cheap...
Following the tariff tantrum turnaround stocks are up and bonds are down — and we’re right back to stocks being expensive (+bonds cheap) again.Charts like this week’s are probably about as unpopular as it gets at the moment.On the equity side, emboldened bulls point out earnings resilience, AI/tech blue skies, and prospects of deregulation and tax cuts driving the bull market onwards and upwards after a late-cycle reset.On the bond side, bearish narratives around deficits, debt, and downgrades hang overhead along with policy uncertainty and tail risks for foreign holders, and the prospect of “outgrowing debt“ meaning higher nominal growth and higher for longer interest rates.But here’s the point to ponder this week: the way valuation charts like this resolve is almost always unthinkable at

What just happened with 20 yr bond auction and SPY?
What just happened with 20 yr bond $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ auction and $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ ?At 1 PM, US government tried to sell 20-year bonds to raise money.But… investors didn’t want to buy them unless they got a much higher interest rate.

This is only the 4th time in history where bond investors suffered long-term losses (in real, total return terms). Equity market returns on the other hand have been spectacularly good.Indeed, you might say bonds are at long-cycle lows, while equities are at long-cycle highs based on the chart below. This lines up with the same logic and intuition as in the chart above, and though it may not matter in the coming days, weeks, or even months, I think it’s fair to argue that these charts will matter immensely in the coming years and decades (if anyone out there is actually thinking that far ahead…!). $S&P 500(.SPX)$ For whom haven't open CBA can know more from below:🏦 Open a CBA today and enjoy privileges of up to SGD 20,000 in trading limit with
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ 🚨📰🧠📉 UNH: Weaponised Fear or Wealth Transfer Opportunity? 📉🧠🚨 Sometimes the loudest headlines mask the sharpest setups. Here’s why the $UNH plunge on 22May25, 🇳🇿NZ Time, might be less about scandal, and more about strategy. 📕 The Anatomy of a Narrative-Driven Selloff On 21May25, The Guardian reignited recycled allegations against UnitedHealth Group ($UNH), claiming the insurer quietly incentivised nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers. What they didn’t lead with? The U.S. Department of Justice had already investigated these allegations over multiple years, interviewed witnesses, reviewed thousands of documents, and ultimately declined to pursue prosecution due to “significant factual inaccuracies.” This wasn’t breaking news

A 62% Ascent Now Faces Gravity 🚨✈️📉 Boeing’s ($BA) recent 62% vertical lift-off from the April lows has captivated the market, but gravity rarely grants a free pass. With no meaningful higher-low and a stretched RSI on the weekly chart, this sharp rally appears vulnerable. As of 22 May 2025, 🇳🇿NZ Time, $BA is down -1.93% to $203.66, and technicals now hint at the early stages of a potential failed breakout. 🔍 Boeing’s Ascent: A Critical Examination of Sustainability and Future Prospects This surge has sparked equal parts optimism and caution.
