Why no sell off?

The reasoning is quite simple:

Higher bond yields = demand for capital is high from businesses and consumers = economy running full steam ahead = extremely bullish = higher prices in equity indexes to come = more $$$ for all longs

Should yields go down then it goes like this:

Higher bond prices = lower capital costs for businesses = more cheap money for LBOs and PE = higher prices in equity indexes to come

You see no matter what the news is, the markets go whatever way the highest amount of capital pushes it towards. Forget the news noise. Look what the markets do.

Bonds interest is 5.19%
0.15% up in 2 days

2 weeks ago it was sell off 200 points
why not today?

We are approaching a critical resistance level on SPX. If it doesn't break then I expect 30 point drop within the week, accompanied by 10-yr yields dropping back below 5%.

I don't agree.
I think
Higher bond yields= Chinese don't agree for yields lower than inflation and buy stocks= Fed will have to raise=Chinese will buy bonds again= longs will loose if they don't take profits

Summer vacations

Altough markets went up, they did so on very thin volume.
Next week markets may go down, they are a bit overextended now.
