A new analysis warns that Treasury yields may rise significantly due to a 'pennant' chart pattern, indicating potential economic deterioration. The 10-year yield, which influences various loan rates, has been consolidating and could break out higher, possibly reaching 6.25% to 8.6%. This rise in yields, driven by factors like rising energy prices, could lead to increased borrowing costs and economic contraction. Analysts suggest caution as the market may face extreme conditions.

Day 2 - My Investment DiaryWith the US stock markets closed for the weekend, we&#39;re taking a deep dive into yesterday&#39;s session, Friday, March 13, where we saw another rough close across the major indices.The $S&amp;P 500(.SPX.US) ended the day down 0.61% at 6,632.19, the $NASDAQ-100(.NDX.US) slid 0.93% to 22,105.36, and the $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US) dipped a milder 0.26% to 46,558.47. This marks the fourth straight day of losses for the S&amp;P, pushing it about 5% below its recent highs and capping off a volatile week where erratic oil prices and geopolitical headlines dominated the narrative.At the forefront is the escalating conflict in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran. Reports of US and Israeli strikes, combined with Iran&#39;s threats to restrict oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, have sent crude oil prices surging. Brent crude topped $90 a barrel this week, fueling inflation fears and raising concerns about prolonged supply disruptions.@Bridge Buzz SG

Many stock friends follow me because of fundamental analysis. Recently, I also wanted to systematically sort out the methodology of fundamental analysis. After some thought, I decided to start with institutional holdings tracking. Institutional holdings are an important way for companies to obtain liquidity, and the holdings of top institutions can also add credibility to companies. At the same time, institutional allocations tend to be long-term, which can also act as a stabilizer for stock volatility. The U.S. stock market's characteristic of siphoning global liquidity attracts a large number of institutional investors, with the institutional holdings of the M7 consistently exceeding 70%. For growth companies, institutional holdings are even more important—expanding market capitalization and entering indices to gain passive fund allocations can often lead to a leap in stock prices...

$Tesla.US Top Wall Street investment firm 22V Research has indicated that the steepening of the overall yield curve of U.S. Treasuries across various maturities is a powerful tailwind for the &#34;Magnificent Seven&#34; (also known as the seven tech giants of the U.S. stock market). However, the firm also notes that if the pace of the yield curve steepening significantly slows down or shifts from steepening to flattening, the performance of the seven giants and other large tech stocks will likely face downward adjustments.$NVIDIA.US Therefore, according to the strategist team at 22V Research, if the U.S. Treasury yield curve shifts from its recent stagnation or flattening trend to a steepening slope, it could signal a new round of upward momentum for the &#34;Magnificent Seven,&#34; which holds a substantial weight (30%-40%) in the $SentinelOne(S.US)&amp;P 500.US and the $Nasdaq.US
