The stock market has sold off sharply in the past few weeks. There have been a couple of rebound attempts along the way, luring capitalists back in. Yet those have actually lasted a day, or less, with the Nasdaq on Friday easily erasing Thursday‘s gains.
Huge sectors of the market are heavily harmed or broken. Even institutional high quality names such as Microsoft as well as Nvidia stock are starting to distort.
The advance-decline lines, after Thursday‘s short respite, resumed their sheer retreat.
The macroenvironment could be a lose-lose scenario. If omicron shows to be a major wellness danger, then coronavirus restrictions, social distancing and also individuals avoiding of the labor force might chill the economic climate while exacerbating many shortages. If omicron becomes a spot, then the Fed may step up its bond taper to avoid inflation.
Neither situation appears particularly attractive for the stock market.
REITs are still standing up, while homebuilders and car parts stores are succeeding. These are defensive and/or low rate of interest plays. But they lug risks also. If the market sells hard, they might not be able to stand up. If the market rebounds and Treasury returns climb, these sectors might lag.
Yet don’t try to think exactly how the market or different stocks will certainly behave. Pay attention to what the market as well as leading stocks are doing currently. Today, they are misbehaving.
