What a turn of events. Dow up 350 plus in the early trading, only to close -216 at the closing. All major indices gave up their gains and went into solid red. VIX edged up almost 5 percent. At the time of writing this post, all indices futures are flat.

Earning season is upon us. Netflix investors brace for subscriber losses as company works on long-term fixes. Tesla gets a new Buy rating, and the stock rallied in the early morning. Unfortunately, gave up all the gains by the end of day.

Strategy

  • Look for signs of market bottoming, which may have already happened.
  • Watch for inflation flatten up

All eyes are on tomorrow’s CPI report. I think market is pricing in a very bad news. I can’t believe Powell fooled us stating “Inflation is transitory”. What happened to the “transition”? It feels like the inflation is here to stay.

It appears, the market takes one step forward two step backward; I don’t see how it may change any time soon. Vix went up more than 6 percent.

All indices had an awesome week. Better than expected job data eased investors mind of recession. I still think we are either already in one or moderate recession is unavoidable.

Market Summary Index Value Change Percentage Dow 31,037.68 69.86 0.23 S&P 500 3,845.08 13.69 0.36 Nasdaq 11,361.85 39.61 0.35 Russel 2K 1,727.55 -13.78 -0.79 VIX 26.73 -0.81 -2.94 So this is the trend, deep red in the morning, ends green at the end. I am not complaining, but just stating that volatility is at its worst or so it seems. All major indexes end up in green territory. Russell 2000 was down which measures growth sectors. VIX dropped another 3 percent and that is great.
