The futures were lower Tuesday, after a strong Nasdaq rally on Monday that was led by Twitter and other social media names after Elon Musk disclosed an almost 10% position in the company. Those positives aside, the same concerns continue to weigh on the market, with the ongoing fighting between Russia and Ukraine, massive COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai, the rising hawkish tone from the Federal Reserve, the inversion between the two-year and 10-year Treasuries and rising inflation.
Yields across the Treasury curve were higher, with the aforementioned two-year closing at a 2.42% yield, while the 10-year closed at a 2.41% yield. Though yield inversions typically signal a recession is on the way, most across Wall Street feel that it could be 2023 before it actually happens. Both oil and gold closed higher on Monday.
