- Date: 8th July 2021
- Summary: NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSSETS, UNITED STATES (JULY 8, 2021) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) NATIONAL SECURITIES, CHIEF MARKET STRATEGIST, ART HOGAN, SAYING: "Obviously, the simple equation of yields on the 10-year come down, good for tech, bad for financials, has really stretched to both of those trades, right? Technology is throwing off an RSI (Relative Strength Index) of almost 76, with 70 being overbought. Financials on the other side are close to 30, which is oversold. So the relative strength and weakness on both of those trades has really gotten stretched. My guess is that's going to snap back a bit as we head into earnings. And remember, the financials kick off the earnings season next week."
