11. Energy prices. "The Bloomberg spot energy price index is now just above its 100-day moving average. That could be taken as a sign of resilient demand."

13. Corporate spreads. "It’s almost as though the bank failures in March were just a bad dream. Bloomberg’s US high-yield credit index is trading at just as tight a spread over Treasuries as before the SVB failure."

John Authers

14. Bond Twitter sentiment. "Bond bulls gained a big confidence boost from the failed break in yields above 4% (also n.b. the trend in bond sentiment)."

18. Growth vs. Value (I). Growth's outperformance vs. Value has stalled. 

Goldman Sachs

19. Growth vs. Value (II). "Performance depends on the index: R1000 Growth (Tech-biased) outperforming R1000 Value significantly YTD (blue); not the same for S&P 500 Pure Growth (Energy-biased) vs. S&P 500 Pure Value (orange)."

21. Retracement. "The stock market has regained nearly three-fourths of the ground it lost last year. Bear-market rallies don’t retrace much more than half their preceding decline. When they do, they are usually new bull markets."

22. Earnings day moves. "The average implied move this quarter of 5.4% is moderately higher than last quarter, but lower than the prior three quarters."
