Good MorningEquity markets were mixed on Wednesday as sector rotation grips the market. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite fell more than 1% at the day's low, the NASDAQ by more than 2%, as the flight-to-safety and blue chip appeal offset tech-led selling. The S&P 500 now shows significant resistance to higher prices near 5,650 and risks becoming range-bound at these levels or worse. The selling could accelerate if the FOMC fails to impress the market with its next policy statement.
A move lower is good news for investors despite the damage to portfolio values today. The S&P 500 is top-heavy, concentrated in Big Tech, and needs a healthy correction. The underlying economic fundamentals remain strong and are bolstered by the interest rate outlook, so the uptrend will continue; the sell-off, however deep it gets, will lead to a buying opportunity. Investors should keep some capital in reserve to take advantage of it. Featured: Learn 7 secret wealth tips high net worth investors use (Ad)
