Wall Street, dragged down by tech stocks, racks up more heavy losses (The Washington Post)

The Nasdaq gives up 4.3 percent and the S&P 500 sinks to a new low for 2022 amid a gamut of economic tensions.

(Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.) Facebook, meanwhile, is down 40 percent and has instituted a hiring freeze, which is viewed as a type of layoff in Silicon Valley. West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark, fell 6.8 percent to trade around $102.30 per barrel. If the economy cools too quickly, it could fall into a recession, which is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of decline. Amazon tumbled 5 percent Monday and is down more than 35 percent on the year. Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, edged 6.5 percent lower to trade around $105 per barrel. Cboe’s VIX, known as “Wall Street’s fear gauge,” is up nearly 99.5 percent year-to-date, according to MarketWatch. Tech companies saw sales swell early in the coronavirus pandemic as consumers reached for products and services that could keep them connected while they isolated at home. Technology companies led a broad market rally shortly after the pandemic began more than two years ago, but there has been a stark reversal in recent months. At 3.6 percent, the unemployment rate remains very low, but growth has slowed markedly and the economy actually contracted in the first three months of 2022. Software company Palantir and electric-vehicle maker Rivian each lost more than 20 percent on the day. After a temporary Federal Reserve-induced boost last week carried it above $40,000, bitcoin was trading down nearly 9 percent Monday at $31,512. But now, as investors react to the prospect of a sluggish economy, big-name companies are also paying a price for high inflation and the possibility of a recession.

"The market is focused on long-term interest rates. The energy sector tumbled 3.4% as oil prices fell more than 2%, sparked by weak China data and a tighter COVID-19 lockdown in Shanghai that deepened fears that the global economy is headed for a slowdown.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq dropped 3.4%, while the benchmark S&P 500 index hit its lowest level in a year as megacap stocks Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com, Apple Inc, Google-owner Alphabet Inc, Meta Platforms and Tesla Inc fell between 2.3% and 3.2%.

U.S. stocks slid on Monday as higher U.S. Treasury yields hit growth stocks amid prospects of aggressive monetary policy tightening, with investor sentiment taking a hit from fears of a sharp economic slowdown in China.

Dow, S&P 500, NASDAQ and bitcoin tumble ahead of April CPI ... (USA TODAY)

Stocks are slipping after a massive selloff last week. Bitcoin sunk below $31000 on Monday. Rivian's stock fell by more than 20%

Share your thoughts and experiences with USA TODAY for possible inclusion in future coverage. The yield on the 10-year Treasury has shot to its highest level since 2018 as inflation and expectations for Fed action rose. The Nasdaq composite’s loss of roughly 25% for 2022 so far is much sharper than that for other indexes. The risk is the Fed could cause a recession if it moves too far or too quickly. Many tech-oriented companies saw profits boom through the pandemic as people looked for new ways to work and entertain themselves while locked down at home. Companies overall are reporting bigger profits for the latest quarter than expected, as is usually the case. The central bank has already pulled its key short-term interest rate off its record low of zero, where it sat for nearly all the pandemic.

"But other inflation metrics are starting to slow down and the April CPI could follow suit, which in turn will likely alleviate the market's concern and help recover its risk sentiment." Bitcoin needs to maintain the key psychological level of $33,000 to prevent further deterioration of technical sentiment, Hasegawa added. Losses steepened over the weekend. Key U.S. inflation data for the month of April, due to be released Wednesday, could be a temporary "turning point" for bitcoin, according to Yuya Hasegawa, crypto market analyst at Japanese bitcoin exchange Bitbank.

With 41.9% Of Wealth In Stocks, 28% NASDAQ Plunge Could Tank ... (Forbes)

The reverse wealth effect could accelerate a recession that would tamp down inflation — leading the Fed to cut rates.

I think one reason stocks have fallen is the uncertainty around how much the Fed will need to raise interest rates to control inflation — which hit 8.5% in March. How high could they go? In recessions since 1980, it has taken the S&P 500 anywhere between seven and 76 months to surpass the pre-recession high. A drop in consumer spending could happen if the unemployment rate rises and/or the reverse wealth effect from plunging stocks and much higher gas and other prices convince people to spend less. If everyone did that, demand and ultimately prices would drop. I have no idea when stocks will bottom out. Inflation will go down if demand drops and/or supply increases. This move signaled inflation would not be cured by letting the free market work. It helped that wages went up over 5% and that the unemployment rate was 3.6% in April. Six months recession and seven months for S&P 500 to reach pre-recession high of 422 reached in January 1980 One investing story is that stocks forecast the economy. How so? How do recessions affect stock prices?
