Good MorningThe S&P 500 resumed its slide on Wednesday, shedding more than 2.75% at the session's low. The tech-driven move was catalyzed by NVIDIA, which said it will record a $5.5 billion charge in the coming report. The charge is due to orders and inventory in China or headed to Chinese end-markets, increasing the fear of tariff disruptions to business generally. NVIDIA shares fell nearly 10% on the news.
Thursday could see another significant market decline. While the severity of the tariff threat has diminished, the impact of tariffs in place is not fully known. With that kind of uncertainty, the market is unlikely to move higher and could extend the sell-off to retest recent lows. The question is if and when the subsequent rebound will begin and what will be the catalyst. If no catalyst emerges, this market could move down to set a new low and continue to trend lower through the quarter's end. Featured: This Hidden Force Moves Tesla (Ad)
