# 20/Oct/2026 - Daily Analysis

Pending housing sales were expected to be down .5% MoM. Instead it came in down 7.5%.

I might be mistaken, but that's the first sign I've seen of real economic damage, not just Wall St.'s anticipation of it. Yields lowered in response to lower growth expectations, which buoyed the small caps that are hurt by higher rates.

Won't change any positions here, honestly have no idea if that's a one-day thing or a major issue. Seems major to me, but I'm not smart money. Guess we'll see.
