The S&P 500 Futures, Dow Futures, Gold, Oil & Bitcoin are all up this morning. We expect yesterday’s same themes predominated overnight with rising bond yields amid risk-on flows. The $1.9 tln is a near done-deal as it’s expected to be approved by the House today. That and the accelerating distribution of vaccines is underpinning increased optimism on a robust recovery.

The reflation trade helped the Dow climb 0.97% to 31,802, but was off its 32,148 intraday high to start the week. Concurrently, the NASDAQ tumbled -2.4% on a rotation out of value. It is still too early to know if we are seeing a rotation away from Tech or just a dip.
