Weekly Open - 02/06/2025 - HYG's lead the way. New all-time highs likely imo!

US 10 Year Treasury Yield at 4.40%. UK 10 Year Gilt at 4.67%. HYG's lead the way. DXY still below 100. UK Capital Gains Tax receipts down over 10% as they continue to shoot themselves in both feet!

Welcome to the Weekly Open. As usual, my apologies if any data and/or information has changed as a result of Asian/early European trading.
