American indices are slightly in retreat today, struggling to surpass yesterday's closing levels. The S&P 500 is up about 0.1%, the Dow Jones has reduced its early session drop to 0.3%, and the Nasdaq 100 is holding onto a 0.2% gain. Small companies are doing much worse overseas, with the Russell 2000 down over 1% today.

The retreat in the second half of the session was supported by falling bond yields. U.S. 2-year yields fell to 4.67%, 10-year yields dropped to 4.24%, and 30-year yields to around 4.4%. Yields are currently at their lowest levels since March this year. This sentiment confirms growing investor confidence in upcoming interest rate cuts, with falling yields driven by a highly successful auction of 30-year bonds, where demand exceeded average values.

Tesla is up nearly 4% today ahead of its annual shareholder meeting. Social media posts by Elon Musk suggest that shareholders are mostly ready to approve a $56 billion payout for him and support moving the company to Texas. Shareholder approval on these matters signals positive stability for the company. However, the current gains are built on rumors and speculation, and any change in narrative at the meeting could lead to a significant decline in the company's stock.
