Tech Leads US Stocks Lower, in Volatile Week
"Stocks fell, capping the worst week since the outbreak of the pandemic roiled markets, with tech shares bearing the brunt of the selloff amid shaky company earnings and prospects for higher U.S. interest rates.
The S&P 500 closed below its 200-day moving average, a key technical level, for the first time since 2020. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 slid the most among major benchmarks Friday, led by a more than 20 per cent plunge in shares of streaming giant Netflix Inc. Bitcoin tumbled in an extended selloff for cryptocurrencies, briefly falling below US$38,000 to its lowest level in more than five months.
Volatility that has gripped markets this month showed little sign of letting up Friday, with the S&P 500 falling for a fourth day, extending losses in the period to 5.7 per cent for the worst, albeit shortened, week since March 2020." - read more on BNN Bloomberg here
Breaking Thoughts: Last week was nasty. Netflix fell 22% on -slower- growth. However, there were virtually no safe havens for investors long stocks.
There are more earnings this week, and to counter the hawkish Fed (as they begin a more aggressive schedule of interest rate hikes & bond sales), these earnings need to stellar with management guiding higher. Otherwise, any repeats of the Netflix earnings, or more bad news from the Fed, and the losses will likely continue. The biggest names to watch out for are $AAPL, $MSFT, $TSLA, $INTC, and $V.
