Good MorningEquity markets extended the sell-off on Wednesday, bringing the S&P 500's losses to 4.5%. Because the correction is gaining momentum, it could exceed the 5% mark and move down as much as 10% before hitting solid resistance. The move is driven by rising fear that the FOMC will not cut interest rates as soon as expected and a round of weaker-than-expected earnings.
Earnings from ASML suggest caution among chip-makers and the potential for weaker-than-expected results for the industry. Earnings from J.B. Hunt Transport suggest persistent economic weakness beyond analysts' expectations and weaker-than-expected results for the transportation industry. The takeaway is that the outlook for the year is deteriorating quickly.
Selling may intensify today and tomorrow. The PCE index is due out next week and will likely echo the CPI report. If so, the odds of a rate cut this year will fall, undercutting the already diminishing outlook for S&P 500 earnings growth. In this scenario, the S&P 500 could fall as much as 20%, and a decline of 30% is not impossible. Featured: The Greatest Bull Market in Crypto History… (Weiss Ratings)
