The Monday rally snapping a nine-day selloff in S&P 500, the longest selloff in nearly 36 years, continued Tuesday in a more subdued mode. The index opened lower, hitting its -0.37% intraday low in the first 30 minutes of the session and then rose steadily to its 0.72% midday high.
It then zigzagged during the afternoon and closed with a modest 0.38% gain. In two days the S&P 500 has erased about 85% of the nine-day selloff. All eyes are now on the behavior of the markets when the election results are revealed.
The 10-year Note closed the session at 1.88%, up five BPs from the previous close.
