Pre-Market Stock Futures:

Futures are trading higher after the bulls tried to rally stocks on Monday, after the drubbing they took on Friday, and it looks the same way today. While it was a partial victory on Monday, by the close, the huge gains from the morning were cut in half, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average actually ended the day lower, closing at 50,786, down 0.17%, while the S&P 500 closed at 7,405, up 0.30%. The Nasdaq finished with what would have ususally been considered a strong day, but sellers came in hard, and the tech-heavy index closed at 25,929, up 0.87%. The small-cap Russell 2000 was last seen up 0.77% at  2,855. While the SpaceX IPO is sure to generate massive investor interest, the gigantic deal may not be the cure for what ails a still-overbought and frothy market.

Treasury Bonds:

One of the reasons the bulls were unable to hold on to the huge opening gains was that, while the S&P 500 posted its largest opening gap in 8 weeks, interest rates continued to rise, with yields on the belly and long end of the curve trading higher on Monday. When the closing bell finally rang, the 30-year-long bond closed at 5.04%, while the benchmark 10-year note closed the session at 4.56%. The 10-year note is critical, as mortgages are priced off the current rate, with additional data known as the mortgage spread factored in. 

Oil and Gas:

Oil traded higher as conflicting news headlines kept traders guessing on Monday. With global oil inventories continuing to be drained despite ceasefire efforts, and Iran even saying the fight with Israel is over, despite an exchange of missile barrages, many feel that the price for the two benchmarks could be getting ready to surge higher. The final trade for Brent Crude was recorded at $94.22, up 1.21%, while West Texas Intermediate finished the day at $91.27, up 0.87%. Natural gas closed down 2.66% at $3.14.

Gold:

After a wild up and down day, Gold finished Monday virtually unchanged at $4,329, up just 0.03%, while Silver, which was hammered last Friday, closed at $68.05, up 0.49%. Both precious metals have been locked in a wide trading range since late March and will need serious tailwinds to break out and return to, and surpass, the February highs. 

Crypto:

Cryptocurrency markets staged a steady recovery on Monday, with Bitcoin climbing back to nearly $64,200. The rebound followed a brutal week in which the asset shed roughly $235 billion in market value. The broader crypto sector members stabilized in line with recovering equity markets, though investor sentiment remains guarded after the sharp weekend sell-offs. At 8 AM EDT, Bitcoin traded at $62,590, and Ethereum at $1,671.
