Equity futures are decidedly weak as market participants deal with concerns over a hard landing. Aggressive selling in the Treasury market is a major headwind for equities. It's not just the level yields have risen to, but how quickly they've moved up that's concerning.
The 2-yr note yield is up 10 basis points to 4.23% (but hit 4.26% earlier) and the 10-yr note yield is up eight basis points to 3.77% (but hit 3.82% earlier).
Another factor weighing on investor sentiment this morning is Goldman Sachs cutting its year end price target for the S&P 500 to 3,600 from 4,300. Goldman, though, sees potential downside to 3,150 in the event of a hard landing.
Overseas, gilt yields in the U.K. have surged after it was announced that some taxes will be rolled back while spending will increase. Flash Manufacturing and Services PMI readings for the eurozone weakened while the U.K.'s Manufacturing PMI improved slightly. Germany's readings stand out, not only for remaining in contractionary territory, but also for indicating an increased rate of deceleration.
WTI crude oil futures are below $81.00/bbl, down 3.5% to $80.55/bbl. Natural gas futures are up 0.5% to $7.12/mmbtu.
