‌‌The big story in markets over the past 24 hours is the big bond selloff that saw yields rocket, and big tech take a tumble.

The Nasdaq is down just under 6% on the week so far...

The bond selloff has taken 10 year yields briefly above 1.5%...

We discussed this (and more) in today's Opening Belle 👇

Galactic stock is valued at ~$10 billion. ‌‌‌‌

That’s a huge multiple of the 2022 estimated sales of $136 million...

If yields DO push higher again, companies like Virgin Galactic are sure to feel the pressure again...

Coinbase are doing an IPO, guys!

SPAC-blinkered or does he make a good point?

Pre-IPO pumping is nothing new, after all...

As with all things crypto it will be a fascinating ride whatever happens!

Crypto is undeniably gaining mainstream acceptance, and Coinbase isn't the first crypto exchange to go public.

Diginex (EQOS) listed on the Nasdaq back in September 2020.
