The Nasdaq slipped an identical -17 points, which was down -0.09% for the session. The Dow performed worse (likely selling off some froth), -382 points or -0.86%. The small-cap Russell 2000 fell hardest: -1.77% at the close.Bond yields were mildly warmer on the day, but are still climbing even after the equities markets take a breather. The 10-year yield is currently around +4.43% (or about 90 basis points higher than mid-September lows), with the 2-year right now perched at +4.34% (also close to the mid-point of 52-week highs and lows).Don’t consider this anything more than the post-election euphoria beginning to dissipate. Wall Street may still be very happy for a Republican majority in the federal government (with a sub-60% majorities in both houses), but there’s only so far investors are willing to take things at this hour.
