Good MorningEquity markets tanked on Monday as renewed fear of a U.S. recession rippled through the market. The fear was caused by Friday's NFP report, which wasn't bad but showed deterioration in job gains and employment, suggesting the FOMC waited too long to cut rates. The risk with the data is that because labor data lags behind economic reality, the situation is actually much worse than indicated, and a recession is unavoidable.
How far can the S&P 500 fall? A long way. After two years of rallying, the index is overextended and is more than 40% above its trend line. The market will unlikely shave 40% of its value, but it could extend the sell-off by another 5% to 10% before it is through. Among the potential outcomes is that the index reverts back to its 2022-2023 trading range, where it will remain indefinitely. Featured: Elon’s big $266,000 per second purchase (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move. | | Watch the documentary briefing and find out which side you land on |
