Investors are facing a confusing environment, with long- and short-term signals sending different messages. Inflation remains stubbornly high, above an 8% annualized rate, and the Federal Reserve has made it clear that additional interest rate hikes are in the offing. Stocks are well off their highs, and despite last Friday’s gains, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq posted their sixth consecutive weekly loss. But there are positives, too. The 1Q22 earnings season gave an upbeat vibe, as more than… Source link

U.S. stocks were mixed at the end of a choppy session Tuesday as markets struggled to recover from a sharp sell-off that sent all three major indexes to their lowest level year-to-date to start the week. The S&P 500 was 0.3% higher after the benchmark closed below 4,000 for the first time since March 2021 on Monday, deepening losses from its longest streak of weekly declines since 2011. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for a fourth straight day to close 85 points, or 0.3% lower, and the… Source link

(Bloomberg) — Dennis Gartman says U.S. stocks are and will be in a bear market until a one-day “violent, downward movement” signals that prices have reached bottom.

What to make of the markets right now? Last week brought more losses in what’s been a volatile year for stocks. The five straight weeks of market declines marked the longest such streak in over a decade. More ominously, they came in along with a number of other disturbing data points. The April jobs numbers, released on Friday, came to 428,000 jobs added for the month, superficially strong and well above the 391,000 expected. But the labor remains depressed, and the total number of workers,… Source link

That represented the tech-heavy index’s biggest one-day dive since June 2020. The force of the plunge confirms what we all know by now – the market headwinds are piling up, one upon the other. At its base, the issue is simple: there are too many problems, coming in too fast, and both the impersonal markets and the individual investors are finding it… Source link

Contracts on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq gained, while Dow futures dipped.

The central bank is widely expected to raise interest rates… Source link

As an indication of how the stock market has suffered so far this year, the 2022 selloff has been unlike anything seen for the last 80 years. While there have been a host of reasons for the market wide rout, the meltdown has been most acute amongst growth stocks. As Wells Fargo’s Head of Equity Strategy Christopher Harvey puts it, “the sell-off is all about ‘growth’ — but not economic growth. Rather, it is about the growth style, the mispricing of duration, and risk appetite (or lack… Source link
