Good MorningWhat began as a mild pull-back in prices Thursday morning gained momentum throughout the day to shave more than 5.0% off the broad market. Thursday’s action is the worst day the market has seen in nearly three months and may be an indication of more losses to come. The move was sparked by fear the economic reopening will be marred by rising COVID counts that could lead to another shutdown.
While Thursday’s action is bearish, investors are warned not to read too much into the sell-off. This week is triple-witching options expiration which is enough by itself to have caused the selling. On a technical basis, the S&P 500 was able to hold the 30-day moving average which often acts as a near-term support level. The risk now is that support won’t hold, if not the S&P 500 could slip to 2,800 or lower over the next few weeks. Featured: Regarding your MarketBeat Membership (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Without a will, your state's intestacy laws decide how your assets are divided — a rigid formula that ignores unmarried partners, unequal financial needs among heirs, and charities you supported. Outdated beneficiary forms on retirement accounts can send assets to ex-spouses or estranged relatives, regardless of what your will says.
Probate without a will can take months or years, freeze your assets, and become part of the public court record.
