Good MorningA major market story today was the Amazon Web Services outage that knocked a wide swath of internet services offline for several hours and disrupted social, gaming, streaming and financial platforms.
The interruption underscored how dependent markets and businesses are on a handful of cloud providers and briefly pressured sentiment around large tech and cloud-linked names as Amazon worked to restore services and continued to respond to lingering errors.
Commodities provided a counterpoint: precious metals extended their rally with silver hitting a fresh all-time high and gold moving higher, drawing safe-haven flows and boosting demand for related ETFs.
Energy was mixed — SLB reported a modest beat on the quarter but its shares remain under pressure amid weaker crude prices — while grain and soft-commodity futures were mostly softer in early trading.
Several quality large-caps have slipped into oversold territory and may be poised for rebounds, while a handful of overlooked smaller names could reward longer-term investors willing to tolerate higher risk. Featured: Boring, cheap, and paying 6% (Ad)
