- Bonds & Ratesneutralshort-termLong-end Treasury yields fell after strong auction demand; if next week's CPI does not surprise, the probability increases that long-end yields have put in a short-term top.Source

- Othernegative for stocksmid-termCompared with the small 7% unlock on October 9, the 28% unlock on the second trading day after Q3 earnings is the biggest year-end test; underwriters' recent bullish calls aim to maintain a high price and valuation so that a large amount of restricted shares can be absorbed smoothly at high levels.Source
