Malachi Latimer @MrMoneyManETO: "Both the $NSDQ100 and $SPX500..."

United Kingdom

Both the $NSDQ100 and $SPX500 have dropped to and bounced off of their lows from the 12th of May. So why the weakness today?: Well the same old factors that have been moving markets for months really - a mix of inflation anxiety, surging oil prices, and pre-earnings nerves. The quick breakdown of what's happening: The Energy Shock: The ongoing U.S.-Iran war has kept oil prices high (Brent crude is hovering over $111/barrel). Theres fears that these high energy costs will choke economic growth. Surging Bond Yields: Because of those high oil prices, markets are bracing for sticky inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 4.66%. When bonds pay that much, they steal attention (and cash) away from riskier stocks. Rate Hike Fears: With inflation staying stubborn, Wall Street is no longer expecting interest rate cuts—instead, they're starting to fear the Fed might actually raise rates later this year. The Nvidia Wait-and-See: Tech and AI stocks are leading the pullback. Big tech has had a massive run, and investors are trimming their positions to lock in profits ahead of Nvidia's massive earnings report tomorrow. In my honest opinion, even with good results we may see weakness as investors “sell the news” and continue to take profit after its recent run. What do you think? $GOLD $OIL
