Because negative developments are everywhere, and they are the last thing standing in the dismal bond and stock markets. This thought process replaces the 2021-22 strategies with plans for what would be advantageous when this bear market ends. As a result, intermediate- and long-term yields are rising at a fast clip (causing prices to fall). This graph shows those rate climbs, including even the one-year maturities. Start with the one place where there is true safety: Cash reserves, including U.S. Treasury Bills, FDIC-insured bank deposits and high-quality money market funds. As in the past, they will produce feelings of fright and remorse among the multitude with fully-invested investors. Because the last hope just fizzled.

Australia is waking up to a grim scene after US stock markets tumbled overnight. The S&P 500 plunged 3.5% while the Nasdaq Composite fell 4.9%. Here's why.

Meanwhile, the share price of eBay Inc (NASDAQ: EBAY) tumbled 11% on the back of the company’s quarterly results. The index slumped 5% driven by the likes of Airbnb Inc (NASDAQ: ABNB) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA). The stocks were among the Nasdaq-100’s worst performers, both slumping 8%. Some US stock market favourites dragged on the NASDAQ-100 (NASDAQ: NDX) overnight. As most of Australia snored, it plummeted 4.99% in its worst session since June 2020. It’s now at its lowest level since 2020. The US stock market’s downturn could spell bad news for the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) on Friday, particularly ASX 200 tech stocks, which often react to the Nasdaq’s movements.

The S&P 500 index cratered 3.6% Thursday, erasing Wednesday afternoon's gains following this week's Federal Reserve meeting and needing a last-minute bump ...

Netflix is among four S&P 500 companies that has lost more than half of its value this year, along with Paypal, Etsy and Invisalign maker Align Technologies. The S&P 500 is down 13.5% from its January 3 peak, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is down 22% after a 5% crash Thursday, fully in Bear Market territory. “We are grossly oversold, and will continue to bounce along the bottom,” Louis Navellier, chairman and founder of wealth management firm Navellier, said. “The one thing you learn in a bear market is that forecasting the bottom is like catching a falling pitchfork. One contrarian indicator leaning bullish is the American Association of Individual Investor’s weekly Investor Sentiment Survey, which surveys its members about the direction of stocks over the next six months.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell helped reassure investors Wednesday afternoon, saying that future rate hikes larger than 50 basis points are "not something the [Fed] is actively considering," leading to a bullish surge in markets

If an investor is more active, it can be better to reallocate a portfolio based on volatility instead of set points on a calendar, Gordon said — but that doesn’t mean constant daily overhauls, he added. The bears are coming, at least in the minds of many. That’s a nine-percentage point increase from the same point last year. Still financial advisers caution against drastic alterations to a portfolio. The results for the seven-day period ending Wednesday are off from the nearly 60% a week earlier who believed a bear market lurked ahead. The S&P 500 SPX,ended down 3.6% while the Nasdaq Composite COMP,dropped 5%. This is what a “ violent unwinding of crowded positions” looks like, according to one money manager.

Fresh off the best percentage gain for the Dow since Nov. 9, 2020, the blue-chip index was routed along with the rest of the stock market.

The slump in bonds, with yields rising as prices fall, is complicating matters for some investors. History suggests that you can’t time the market and that, over a long period, the market wins. Is this time to jump into stocks, or should investors wait for a better entry point? Or should we heed billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones’s advice and stay clear of traditional markets altogether? “Inflation may have peaked, growth may be slowing, but it is still positive. The Fed has been hiking rates to combat a surge in inflation that materialized in the aftermath of the COVID-19 shutdowns and dislocations, and which has been exacerbated by bloody conflict in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion in late February.

During times of turmoil, some investors have to come to expect what's known as the Fed put, or the Fed’s tendency to cut rates or hold off on rate increases in response to market turmoil. This year's market volatility has forced investors to aggressively unwind pandemic-era bets as money managers contend with the impact of higher rates. When yields on bonds rise that diminishes the allure of stocks whose earnings are expected to come far into the future.

Many technicians say a rise to at least 2.000 suggests panic-like selling behavior. Those trends, however, were reversing course on Thursday. The NYSE Arms Index, a volume-weighted breadth measure that tracks the ratio of advancing stock to declining stocks over the ratio of advancing volume over declining volume, was showing a reading of 2.588 for NYSE-listed shares.

With the exception of Japan’s Nikkei 225, which closed nearly 0.7 percent higher, all registered losses. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index tumbled 3.8 percent, while the Shanghai Composite index gave up more than 2 percent. The trends held despite a better-than-expected jobs report, which showed the United States added 428,000 positions in April despite the forces threatening economic growth. “Concern about inflation is the culprit, as ever, and the wild swings we’ve seen this week are a reminder that sentiment is about as fragile as a porcelain doll,” Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said Friday in comments emailed to The Post. “The other fear is that the cure for inflation, higher rates, could be as bad as the disease if they choke off growth and even lead to recession." Relief about the strength of the labor market — with unemployment steady at a pandemic-low of 3.6 percent — was quickly eclipsed by concerns about rising interest rates. “Friday’s strong jobs number and elevated wage growth confirms the Federal Reserve’s plans to raise interest rates to cool rising inflation, which is being driven in part by the tight labor market and rising wages,” said Robert Schein, chief investment officer of Blanke Schein Wealth Management, in comments emailed Friday to The Post.
