With a deafening roar, the US stock market ran headlong into bear territory, the S&P sinking 20% below a January peak and hitting its lowest mark since the previous January. Tech shares bore the brunt https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/28044522.856043/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3... of the Monday rout, with the Nasdaq 100 slumping about 4.5%. Speculative areas of the market inflated by years of government largesse buckled as profitless software firms, newly public companies and blank-check entities were unceremoniously dumped. Credit markets continued their historic repricing of rate trajectories: Treasury 10-year yields climbed to the highest since 2011 while two-year rates jumped to levels last seen before the 2008 financial crisis. The cost to protect investment-grade debt from default soared as a closely watched segment of the US bond curve inverted. And Bitcoin took another dive, tumbling https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/28044522.856043/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3... to its lowest https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/28044522.856043/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3... point in about 18 months after withdrawals tied to the Celsius lending platform were frozen.
