- Rates continue to take centre stage when it comes to extreme market moves. US 2y yields experienced a 3.3 standard deviation jump last week, followed by US breakeven inflation jumping 2.5 standard deviations and Norwegian 2y yields jumping 2.4 standard deviations.
- Numerous other rates markets had one standard deviation jumps last week too (Chart 1).
- The only non-rates markets seeing extreme jumps were silver and gold – both up 1.4 standard deviations.
- At the other end of the spectrum, the Tesla stock price tumbled with a 1.8 standard deviation decline, followed by EUR/USD (down 1.4 st. dev.), and the Turkish lira (down 1.2 st. dev.).
These moves suggest rates remain the market to focus on along with Tesla and EUR/USD.
