The 2:00 tape was a draft. 4 p.m. is the grade.
Yahoo Finance, Tuesday 4:00 p.m. ET: Dow Jones 52,377.57, up 15.99 from Monday’s 52,361.58, +0.03%. S&P 500 7,722.60, up 45.83, +0.60%. Nasdaq Composite 26,477.81, up 308.43, +1.18%. Russell 2000 2,818.87, up 32.45, +1.16%. Midday we had Dow 52,361.33 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Do not smash 52,378 into 52,361. They are not the same print. 52,377.57 is the close. 52,361 at 2:00 already ran as a tape. Monday already filed the unused close as 52,361.58. We will not reprint it as first-day news.
Yahoo, Tuesday 6:00 p.m. ET: Bitcoin $80,759.45. That is not 2:00’s unused $80,397.84. That is not Monday 6:00’s unused $79,907.21. WTI futures (CL=F) $100.20 at 4:59 p.m. ET, vs 2:00’s unused $99.80 at 1:50. Brent futures (BZ=F) $109.74 at 4:59, vs 2:00’s unused $109.41 at 1:50. Those are futures. They are not a Tuesday oil settle we invent. Do not smash 2:00’s $99.80 / $109.41 into tonight. 10-year (^TNX) 4.993% at 2:59 p.m. ET, vs Monday’s unused 4.986% at 2:59, vs 2:00’s unused 4.988% at 1:45. Funds are still 3.75–4%, 12–0. FOMC is Oct. 27–28. The statement is Oct. 28 at 2 p.m. Today is not statement day. We will not invent a hike or a cut on a Tuesday close.
What this means for you
If you hold an index, Tuesday’s grade is 52,378, not 52,361 at 2:00 and not Monday’s 52,362. If you wanted tonight’s unused bitcoin, it is $80,759 at 6:00. Not investment advice.
Bottom line: Close 52,377.57. Not 2:00’s 52,361. Not Monday’s 52,362. $80,759 at 6:00. Statement is tomorrow.
