Market Falls Monday to Start the First Week of Q3 Earnings | Wall Street Today
The market fell Monday, despite some outsized moovers. The Mag Seven pulled back before a Super Micro press release sent Semiconductors higher, with $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ at the lead.
Just past 4 pm ET the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ traded down 0.96%, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ fell 0.94%, and the $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ fell 1.18%.
MACRO
Last week was a volatile one, but this week, we will see updated CPI inflation numbers and the start of the Q3 earnings season. In macro, the market was still digesting Friday's labor numbers, which came in hot- 254k vs. estimates of 147k.
CPI numbers will arrive Thursday, forecasted to be at 2.3% growth year over year in consumer prices, a three-year record low. Last month, consumer prices grew by just 2.5% year over year, the lowest rate since 2021
SECTORS
Semiconductors were one of the few green industries Monday, while a wave of other tech and industries fell in value. Utilities and auto were hit the hardest, with $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ falling 3%. Utilities were dragged down in part by the $700M market cap $Oklo Inc (OKLO.US)$, as the nuclear reactor start-up fell 5%
$Crude Oil Futures(JAN5) (CLmain.US)$ climbed massively on Monday. Hamas militants fired missiles into Israel Monday, while Israel launched strikes targeting Hesbala in Lebanon on the anniversary of a terrorist attack targeting Israel one year ago that began a devastating Middle East conflict.
Gold and silver both fell on Monday. The $U.S. 2-Year Treasury Notes Yield (US2Y.BD)$ and the $U.S. 10-Year Treasury Notes Yield (US10Y.BD)$ climbed, the 10 year climbed over 4% for the first time in two months.
