Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.

U.S. Stocks Move Sharply Lower Amid Surging Treasury Yields
Following a moderate pullback in the previous session, stocks showed a more substantial move to the downside during trading on Wednesday. The major averages rebounded from an initial decline but once again slumped into negative territory as the day progressed.
The major averages ended the day off their worst levels but still sharply lower. The Dow plunged 816.80 points or 1.9 percent to 41,860.44, the S&P 500 slumped 95.85 points or 1.6 percent to 5,844.61 and the Nasdaq tumbled 270.07 points or 1.4 percent to 18,872.64.
The weakness on Wall Street came amid lingering uncertainty about the outlook for trade and the global economy following the surge seen over the past several weeks.
Stocks have shown a substantial recovery from their early April lows, but traders have recently been questioning the strength of the rebound amid a lack of clear progress on new trade deals.
A continued increase by bond yields also generated selling pressure, with the thirty-year bond yield climbing above 5 percent due to concerns a new U.S. tax bill could worsen the country’s deficit.
President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill is one step closer to a full vote in the House of Representatives, with economists warning the proposal would add more than $2.5 trillion to the federal debt over the next decade.
Treasury yields saw further upside after the Treasury Department revealed this month’s auction of $16 billion worth of twenty-year bonds attracted below average demand.
The twenty-year bond auction drew a high yield of 5.047 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.46, while the ten previous twenty-year bond auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.58.
The bid-to-cover ratio is a measure of demand that indicates the amount of bids for each dollar worth of securities being sold.
Sector News
Airline stocks showed a substantial move to the downside on the day, resulting in a 3.7 percent nosedive by the NYSE Arca Airline Index.
Considerable weakness also emerged among banking stocks, as reflected by the 3.1 percent slump by the KBW Bank Index.
Oil service, housing and commercial real estate stocks also saw notable weakness, while gold stocks bucked the downtrend amid a continued increase by the price of the precious metal.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly higher during trading on Wednesday. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rose by 0.6 percent and China’s Shanghai Composite Index inched up by 0.2 percent, although Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index bucked the uptrend and fell by 0.6 percent.
Meanwhile, the major European markets turned in a mixed performance on the day. While the French CAC 40 Index fell by 0.4 percent, the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index inched up by 0.1 percent and the German DAX Index climbed by 0.4 percent.
In the bond market, treasuries moved sharply lower after ending the previous session roughly flat. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, surged 11.5 basis points to 4.596 percent.
Looking Ahead
Following a few relatively quiet days on the U.S. economic front, trading on Thursday may be impacted by reaction to reports on weekly jobless claims and existing home sales.

DISNEY IS AS GUILTY AS ABC – ABC NEEDS TO BE SOLD – PERHAPS TO THE DEMOCRATS OR PERHAPS COMMUNIST CHINA
FCC chair Brendan Carr sent a letter to Disney CEO Robert Iger stating, “Numerous reports indicate that Disney’s leadership went all in on invidious forms of D.E.I. discrimination a few years ago and did so in a manner that infected many aspects of your company’s decisions.”
ABC News does not fall under the FCC’s purview, but ABC’s eight-owned and operated stations are, and it wants to review whether they have violated any FCC equal employment opportunity regulations.
In addition, the FCC will also look at ABC’s policy that at least 50 percent of characters in TV pilots be from underrepresented groups.
For its part, Disney, in a statement, said, “We are reviewing the Federal Communications Commission’s letter, and we look forward to engaging with the commission to answer its questions.”
This is familiar territory for ABC News, which has already come under scrutiny from President Donald Trump. Last December, the news division settled its lawsuit with the president for $15 million over comments that anchor George Stephanopoulos made on a March 10, 2024 edition of his Sunday show, This Week.
As part of the settlement, the network included an editor’s note in the online article accompanying the broadcast, which stated: “ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace.”
The Associated Press reports that Disney has altered some of its D.E.I. positions in recent months. For example, it has changed the language at the beginning of some of its movies from “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of peoples or culture” to “this program is presented as originally created and may contain stereotypes or negative depictions.”
It joins NBCUniversal and Paramount Global as media companies with ties to news operations receiving the FCC treatment since the beginning of the second term of the Donald Trump administration.
The FCC does not have direct jurisdiction over NBCUniversal properties. Still, the news division could be affected by the outcome of the investigation due to its parent company, Comcast, cable and high-speed internet business, as they fall under the regulatory oversight umbrella of the FCC.
NBCUniversal is also expected to finalize the spinning off of its cable units into a separate company in the next few months, which will require government approval.
Meanwhile, Paramount Global is in the final stages of its merger with Skydance Media and needs government approval, too. On top of that, CBS News’ Sunday night newsmagazine, 60 Minutes, is facing a $20 billion lawsuit brought on by the president, who alleges the news network engaged in “deceitful” editing of a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Carr made an official request for the unedited interview transcript, leading the network to publicly release the transcript and video footage of the interview on its website.
