| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:10.0 | Welcome to Dividend Cafe. This is Tuesday, April the 22nd. |
| 0:17.0 | Brian Saitel with you here from our West Palm Beach office here in Florida. On a nice day of green, |
| 0:24.4 | at least on my faxette screen here, following yesterday's sell-off, we've had three of the past |
| 0:30.1 | four sessions on the SMP 500 be negative. Today broke that trend. The NASDAQ has seen four |
| 0:35.9 | sessions in a row negative negative and so it broke that |
| 0:38.7 | even longer trend of red here. So we got some grain on the screen. Dow was up 1,016 points |
| 0:44.3 | and S&P was up 2.5% and NASDAQ was up 2.7%. And the big news on the day that drove |
| 0:51.6 | this pretty dramatic move up, call it two and a half plus on the |
| 0:55.2 | markets, was wait for it. Not much of really anything, frankly. Not a lot of negative news, |
| 1:01.9 | I suppose, is the new positive news on trade. There wasn't a whole lot going on there as far as |
| 1:06.9 | new developments. There was some positive comments, at least on Politico, about a possible |
| 1:11.6 | deal with Japan and India. But then also over the weekend, China said that countries that |
| 1:16.6 | do trade deals with the U.S. that negatively impact China will be retaliated upon itself. |
| 1:22.3 | I think some of the stuff is getting a little silly. But that's all fine. The yields on the day, |
| 1:27.2 | so one of the things the |
| 1:28.1 | market has been paying attention to is the strength in the dollar, or frankly the lack |
| 1:32.3 | thereof. Dollar has been trading a little lower here recently. Of course, media and economic |
| 1:37.8 | writers and any sort of pundit likes to sensationalize things, but the dollar's down marginally |
| 1:43.8 | over the past year, but is roughly the same here over the past five years. So not a lot going on there. Same thing on the 10 year. If you look at treasuries, not a lot going on over any reasonable period of time, even over the past 12 months. But nonetheless, the dollar was up on the day, 0.7%. And both tens were down, about one basis points, and 30s were down in yield, about four |
| 2:06.2 | basis points, which means the bond prices were higher. |
| 2:09.4 | A little normalcy there in currency and in bond land, less talk, I guess, on trade |
