Good MorningThe S&P 500 and other major equity indices sold off on Wednesday as fears centered on U.S. government debt rose to a boil. The increase in fear was triggered by a budget standoff that could leave the U.S. debt level at unmanageable levels. The yield on the 10-year treasury rose in response as investors reduced their exposure, and it could continue to climb in the coming weeks. The risk for the market is that President Trump's activity-spurring agenda will be stalled before it can gain traction.
Thursday's action will be telling. The sell-off will likely gain momentum if the S&P cannot quickly regain its footing. In that scenario, the index could retreat to retest support near 5,800 and 5,700, and a deeper decline is possible. Without a positive catalyst to reinvigorate buyers, the S&P could fall as far as 5,350 or lower and move to retest the April lows is possible. The next visible market catalyst is the PCE price index, which is scheduled for release next Friday.

From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.
