Dear Sheryl,
As you know, the bounce I was anticipating today didn't materialize. Rather, both the S&P 500 and Dow opened significantly lower, as both indices look to retest their recent lows. But there is good news... The smart money is using today's selloff as a buying opportunity. In fact, the Nasdaq isn't as weak as the S&P 500 and Dow, and many flagship Nasdaq stocks are firming up. I should also add that Treasury yields are continuing to plunge. The 10-year Treasury fell to around 2.85% today. And as along as Treasury yields continue to fall, the Federal Reserve is more and more likely to issue a very dovish statement at is Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting this month. So, I'm still expecting a strong market rally in the upcoming days and weeks-and the folks at Bespoke agree. According to a recent report, the S&P 500 has historically bounced strongly following two-day selloffs like what we experienced this week. In fact, Bespoke notes that when the S&P 500 is down more than 3% one day and declines more than 1% at the open the following day, the S&P 500 is 2.82% higher one week later.
