Dow Jones

Key insight

53,346 holds Aug range lows — break below 53,000 (round number / Aug swing low) opens path to 52,400 (200-day MA). FOMC minutes Wed + retail earnings (WMT, TGT, HD) are the week's binary catalysts.

30-yr Treasury yield at 19-yr high + oil at $84.3 drag on Dow; index down from Aug 4 record close of 54,085 and below 50-day MA near 53,600.

Main risk

30-yr Treasury Yield at 19-Year High
