Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Global markets experienced significant declines, with the Nasdaq 100 and R2K futures down over 3% and the S&P 500 down about 1.75%. The sell-off was triggered by worsening manufacturing sector contraction, rising jobless claims, and negative tech earnings, including concerns about Nvidia (NVDA) under DOJ scrutiny. Analysts suggest the tech sector's previous strong performance may have led to the current correction.
