Futures, crypto and the euro
E-mini S&P 500 front-month futures closed at 7,383.00 on Thursday. WTI crude futures closed at $90.52 a barrel and Comex gold futures at $4,113.50 an ounce on Thursday. Bitcoin ended the UTC day of 4 November at $80,405, up 3.96%. Ether ended the same day at $2,422, up 6.58%. The European Central Bank’s euro reference rate was $1.1224 per euro on 5 November.
Rates
The 10-year Treasury yield was 4.90% and the 2-year 4.58% on 4 November. The 10-year real yield was 2.64% (4 November) and 10-year breakeven inflation 2.24% (5 November). The effective fed funds rate was 3.88% on 4 November, inside the Fed’s 3.75–4.00% target range.
What a normal day looks like
The S&P 500’s 20-day realized volatility, from daily closes to 5 November, was 19.9% a year. At that rate one standard deviation of daily movement is about ±92 points (7,353.73 × 19.9% ÷ √252). About two days in three have historically stayed inside that range; realized volatility looks back, not forward, and real markets have fatter tails than this arithmetic assumes.
