It was a little ray of hope. A quick sweep of the list didn’t reveal a particular sector or asset class to be dominant. The stocks and ETFs ...

The Yield Curve The RRG above shows the rotations of the various maturities on the US-Yield Curve. What we see at the moment is that the shorter maturities like BIL, SHY, and IEI are in relative uptrends against GOVT which means that the accompanying yields are being pushed lower.
