- Indices rebound after yesterday’s rout
- US 10Y Treasury yield hit fresh 5-month low
- Bitcoin fell below $30,000
European indices finished today's session in green, rebounding from yesterday's steep sell-off. Investors digested a batch of earnings reports while recent data showed the sharpest increase in German producer prices since 1982, adding to concerns about rising inflation. On the earnings front, UBS posted strong quarterly profit and Alfa Laval's core profit topped analysts' estimates while home appliances maker Electrolux posted disappointing second quarter figures.
US indices also moved sharply higher as investors stepped in to buy the dip from the Dow Jones Industrial average’s worst day in eight months. The yield on the benchmark US 10-year Treasury note briefly touched a new 5-month low of 1.13% as concerns are mounting over rising inflation and slowing global growth as the coronavirus delta variant spreads rapidly and countries tighten restrictions. Earnings from IBM and Philip Morris beat market expectations while Netflix Inc, United Airlines and Chipotle will provide their quarterly figures after market close. Meanwhile, a gauge of housing starts in the US showed a 6.3% increase in June while building permits declined 5.1%.
