SAFE-HAVEN ASSETS ROSE against junk bonds in net prices linked to actual trades once again driving the 10-year note below 2 percent. Gold rallies Tuesday following its sharpest daily drop in more than a year “as global slowdown worries are growing” among the markets. Investors anxiously await payroll figures to be released on Friday after the Independence Day on Thursday to decide on their risk appetite. The 10-year note sank 4.8 basis points. S&P +0.29%, DOW +0.26, NASDAQ +0.22%.
CRUDE OIL PLUMMETED MORE THAN 4 PERCENT on demand concerns despite
OPEC extending production cuts into 2020. Investors
fear sluggish manufacturing will impact oil demand,
August crude declined 4.64 percent settling at $56.39 per barrel
. “Increasing indications of global economic slowing remain as the larger negative pricing consideration to the energy complex and OPEC’s need to extend production cuts even further would appear to attest to slowing economic growth paths.” ADI proprietary index data showed a net
yield increment for high-yield versus high-grade bonds.
High-grade edged out high-yield. Among high-grade bonds showing topmost price gains at appreciable volumes traded,
HJ Heinz Co. (USD) 2.85% 3/1/2022 made analysts' 'Conviction Buy' lists. (See the chart for
