Good Morning!

Futures in the red off their lows at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on the House passing the tax bill this morning along with the usual suspects like tariffs, commodities, oil, treasuries, the dollar and bitcoin movement.

From Bloomberg

  • "US bonds and stocks steadied after a volatile day as President Donald Trump’s signature tax bill narrowly passed the House. 

  • Treasuries were little changed after days of losses in which the 30-year yield hit the highest since 2023. S&P 500 futures gained 0.2%. The dollar ended a three-day losing run while Bitcoin pushed further into record territory. Oil declined.

  • US lawmakers advanced a sprawling multi-trillion dollar package that would avert a year-end tax increase at the expense of adding to the US debt burden. The move comes after a downgrade by Moody’s Ratings thrust concerns over the ballooning deficit into the spotlight. 

  • This has shown up in government bonds, sapping sentiment after an equity rebound put the S&P 500 on the cusp of a bull market.

  • “Bond vigilantes are back,” Beata Manthey, a strategist at Citigroup Inc., told Bloomberg TV. “The market is worried about debt sustainability. It’s not very helpful, given how strong a rebound we’ve been seeing in equity markets.”"

In REIT News
