The Dow took another real beating today with inflation concerns and labor market fears haunting investors. The index dipped as low as 600 points in the morning but recovered more than half of that by close. Tech finally caught a break though at least in terms of trimming losses as both indexes enjoyed modest gains during the day but closed pretty close to flat as investors sit on the fence awaiting Nvidia’s results next week. As today’s expert put it, “We’ve got a huge event next week with Nvidia. If Nvidia disappoints, they will be punished.”  At 20.1 billion shares traded, volume almost exactly matched the 20.2 billion average.

With news out of Washington today that it may take longer than expected to recover from the shutdown, that indeed we may not ever get any October labor data, all three indexes plunged severely, all in serious 3-digit losses. Adding to the plunge was considerably stronger hawkish Fed talk which led to the odds of a December rate cut also plunging, as the markets very much expected that rate cut. The decline began all around at open and continued a steady downward slope all day.

Today was a carbon copy of yesterday with the Dow still going crazy with exuberance over the expected end of the shutdown but over-valuations still plaguing tech with giants Amazon, Tesla, and Oracle taking hits and Nvidia taking an especially big hit with Softbank selling a large chunk of its Nvidia stock. Even though there are still bumps in the road ahead in transitioning out of the shutdown, sentiment runs high and a December rate cut has been given 65% odds.  Volume continues well below the 20.5 billion average, coming in today at 17.2 billion.

Yesterday, the market reacted with great exuberance over the news that the shutdown would likely end soon and today, at least with industrials, the exuberance continued in force with the Dow rising continuously throughout the day and closing up 599 points. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to allay the fears in tech of stretched valuations and a possible coming bubble in AI.

The headlines about the likelihood of the shutdown ending soon hit the markets with great exuberance, causing all three indexes to soar into major 3-digit gains. Though it is still unclear as to when the bills will pass, the President will sign, and operations will resume, as far as investors are concerned, the handwriting is definitely on the wall.

The usual jitters concerning sky-high valuations and the government shutdown continued in full force today with all the indexes taking another major dive in the morning, the Dow down some 400 by noon, only to be rescued by afternoon optimism after reports of progress in the congressional impasse which shot the market back to near break-even by close and even a nice 74 point gain in the Dow. The lack of government data has been a big hindrance to analysts trying to gauge where we’re heading and today’s U of M consumer sentiment survey didn’t help at all as it plunged to its most pessimistic reading in the survey’s history.

After yesterday’s ebullient optimism, pessimism was once again on the front burner today as traditional worries regarding stretched valuations, the shutdown, tariff uncertainties and a downtick in Q3 earnings dominated sentiment and sent all indexes straight down into major 3-digit losses. A poor Qualcomm Q3 sent that stock down 3.6% and the overall chip index down 2.4%.  As expressed by today’s expert, “The market wants guidance and right now, with tariffs, the shutdown, and possibly peak AI, the future could be bleak.”
