What a fakeout in shares this week. The bulls had been feeling nice after the delicate CPI and hopeful that Powell would tip the nod in the direction of simpler coverage. As a substitute, he leaned in onerous to hikes and that was adopted by an even-more hawkish lean from Lagarde.
Now the bond market is signaling an pointless recession and US shares posted an unsightly outdoors day on the chart.
On the day:
- SPX -1.1%
- Nasdaq Comp -1.0%
- Russell 2000 -0.7%
- DJIA -0.9%
On the week
- SPX -2.1%
- Nasdaq Comp -2.8%
- Russell 2000 -1.9%
There is not a lot to love on the S&P 500 weekly chart after this week’s outdoors reversal:
