Good MorningEquity markets began to correct last week, which may become a deep one for two reasons. The first is because the market has begun to believe the FOMC will not cut rates soon or even this year. The PCE index confirmed the belief on Friday and helped to send the S&P 500 down more than 2.0% at the week's low. The second reason is earnings. Reports from tech giants like Salesforce and Dell and small tech names like Gitlab and MongoDB included weak guidance that points to softness throughout the tech sector.
The S&P 500 is at a peak and could correct another 5% to 10% before hitting a solid bottom. The risk is that the market will fall through critical support at the 4,990 level and enter a long-term bear market. In that scenario, the market could shed as much as 35% before reaching the final low. The question is if the economy can sustain high interest rates for another six months or if it will tip into the recession that has been on the horizon for two years.
