STOCK REBOUND CONTINUES -- CYCLICAL SECTORS ARE LEADING -- 10-YEAR TREASURY YIELD REGAINS 200-DAY AVERAGE

MARKET REBOUND CONTINUES... Stocks had another strong day today and have more than made back their sharp losses from Monday.   Chart 1 shows the Dow Industrials closing above their 50-day average for the second day in row.   Chart 2 shows the S&P 500 gaining more ground following Monday's successful test of its 50-day line.   Chart 3 shows the Nasdaq Composite closing back above its 20-day average.    Eight of eleven market sectors ended in the black today with the biggest gains coming from more cyclical sectors like energy, financials, materials, and industrials.  More defensive sectors like utilities, real estate, and staples lost some ground.   That's usually a sign that investors are in a more optimistic mood.  Treasury yields also jumped today as some money rotated out of the safety of bonds.  The 10-Year Treasury yield ended the day back over its 200-day average that was broken on Monday.
