Good MorningEquity markets fell for a 3rd day as fear of a broader spread financial system crisis grows. While the First Republic Bank chapter of the saga has come to a close, the FOMC is expected to keep rates at high levels for a sustained time and will likely cause more banks to fail. The question is how many and how soon, and the answer may not be known until regulators close the next bank down.
The S&P 500 shed more than 1.0% at the session's low and is testing support at the 4,050 level. Support at this level may be tenuous and lead to another market sell-off. If so, the following targets for support are several percentage points lower. Even if the market can sustain these levels, there is clear resistance at the 4,150 level that is keeping the market from moving higher. Featured: Buy Nvidia? See this AI Forecast… (Ad)

From Our Partners | | What I bought is tokenized gold. Real gold in a professional vault… held as a digital token in a wallet only I control. Now compare that to how most people own gold. You call a dealer and pay a premium over the gold price. You wait for it to ship… then you find somewhere to hide it.
And when you want out? It gets worse. Buy a 1 oz gold coin from a dealer and sell it back, and about 4% to 8% of your money is typically gone. Plus, physical gold holders wait days for dealers to verify the gold and pay them.
Tokenized gold? You can sell it any hour, any day, even on a Sunday night, for a small trading fee. So when you need your money, which would you rather own? Gold that takes days to sell… or gold you can sell in seconds? | | Click here to see how tokenized gold works. |
