Good MorningEquity markets resumed selling on Thursday, reversing the post-FOMC rally, confirming that the CPI data was a sell-the-news event triggering market rotation. The S&P 500 fell nearly 2% at the session's low, confirming resistance at a lower level, setting the market up for a deeper fall. The bad news is that selling may persist through September and into the Q3 earnings reporting season; the good news is that the market is setting up for a broader rally than we've seen recently, and it could last for years.
The hardest hit are the big tech stocks like NVIDIA and Microsoft, which have led the market for the last two years. Even the impressive results from Facebook's parent company, Meta Platforms, could not maintain the stock's upward trend. The way the market looks on the charts, the next round of selling could be vigorous and take the S&P 500 down by another 4% by the end of August.
