Hump Day Sees Positive Market Turn As Yield Curve Flattens – $AG $ATOS $FATE $INMB $NBSE $PLUG $TSLA Rise!

Happy Hump Day!

I hope that you all had a a great Wednesday and that the markets positive swing helped to buoy each and everyone of your investment accounts. Nine out the eleven sectors turned green today helping to power a broad based positive move for the major indices, while the yield curve flattened as the 10-year treasury closed lower by 3 basis points at 1.55% and the 2-year yield rose by 2 basis points to end at .37%. The S&P 500 closed at 4,363.80 (+.30%), the Dow 30 closed at 34,377.81 (0%) , & the Nasdaq closed at 14,571.64 (+.73%), but without the help of widely held Apple (AAPL) which closed lower at $140.91, -.42% after reports surfaced via Bloomberg that they may be seeking to lower its iPhone 13 production targets for 2021 by as many as 10 million units as chip shortages continue to worry the industry. The small caps on the Russell 2000 also caught a bid and closed higher again today at 2,241.97 (+.34%), while the MicroCaps bumped higher as the iShares Micro-Cap ETF (IWC) closed at $146.10, (+.15%). 

The positive move was due in part to the macroeconomic schedule, which produced the September Total CPI report which came in up .4% M/M above expectations, while the core CPI also edged up .2%. The weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index report also confirmed a rise by .2%.  The FOMC minutes also revealed that the Fed’s process to taper would be gradual once it begins and that could possibly be as early as November.

The financials sector down .6% & the energy sector down .1% were the lone detractors for the markets today. Oil prices slipped a little closing at $80.51/bbl, -.1%.

(NASDAQ: PLUG, $33.59, +12.79%), a leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, today announced that the companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of low-carbon hydrogen business opportunities. Phillips 66, which has 13 wholly owned and joint venture refineries in the U.S. and Europe, owns extensive hydrogen-related infrastructure and uses hydrogen in the manufacturing of transportation fuels. With over 20 years of history, and customers like Amazonn(AMZN), Walmart (WMT) and Home Depot (HD), Plug Power is a leader in hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers. The company has begun construction on state-of-the-art green hydrogen production facilities in California, New York, Tennessee and Georgia that will ultimately supply 500 tons per day of liquid green hydrogen by 2025. As part of this agreement, the companies will explore ways to deploy Plug Power’s technology within Phillips 66’s operations, leveraging Plug Power’s experience as a full value chain provider within the hydrogen economy. Plug Power will benefit from Phillips 66’s capabilities as a developer of large-scale energy infrastructure, operator of industrial-scale hydrogen production facilities, and presence in the fuels marketing segment in the U.S. and Europe.
