4.Nasdaq Comp Closes Below 200day.

5.More Interesting to Watch…Stock and Bonds Falling in Unison.

(Bloomberg) — The biggest post-crisis shift in the investment landscape may be looming, threatening more pain for investors besieged by an uptick in real interest rates and cross-asset volatility.

Bonds and equities are doing something they don’t usually do — fall in unison — with the latest move driving their normal inverse correlation to the weakest levels of the past two decades. The relationship has come completely apart only three times in that period, and each episode was followed by an equity market slump, including the last one, in 2014.

More synchronized weakness could also leave investors exposed, upending diversification strategies that helped them hedge losses in either market.
