Stock futures are again lower, continuing on a theme since last Thursday. This is the 4th straight day starting in the red. Central banks are the focus this week with Jerome Powel on Capitol Hill again today while earlier, the Bank of England announced a 50 basis point raise. You’re probably used to hearing the word “stubborn” inflation by now but the “stubborn” part is clearly something central banks are still trying to figure out. With other central banks taking the lead (or catching up) even while the FOMC is “pausing” treasury yields remain bid. 1-year treasury yields are now the highest they’ve been during this cycle. However, the 2-year yield is still lower than the level it reached prior to the Silicon Valley Bank mess (that sent yields plummeting.) Yields bottomed around the first week of May. But stocks have managed to climb alongside yields, with the SPY up 8% while the 2-year yield has climbed a full point over the past month and a half. In other words, stocks have largely shrugged off the bond market recently and don’t seem overly concerned with the FOMC picking up where it left off, or keeping rates higher for longer. So far.
SPY options are pricing about a 0.4% move for today, and about a 0.6% move into tomorrow’s close. That’s about 10 vol.

Chart of the Day:
Tesla stock is up around 70% in the past 2 months yet options are only pricing about a 20% move for the rest of the Summer. Options rarely get this name right when it makes big rips higher.
That’s all for now. Have a great day!
