U.S. Stocks Show Significant Rebound But Still Post Steep Weekly Losses
Following the sell-off seen over the course of Thursday’s session, stocks showed a substantial move back to the upside during trading on Friday. The major averages all moved sharply higher, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq posting a standout gain.
The major averages reached new highs for the session going into the close of trading. The Nasdaq soared 451.07 points or 2.6 percent to 17,754.09, the S&P 500 surged 117.42 points or 2.1 percent to 5,638.94 and the Dow jumped 674.62 points or 1.7 percent to 41,488.19.
Despite the significant rebound on the day, the major averages still posted steep losses for the week. The Dow plunged by 3.1 percent, while the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 tumbled by 2.4 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively.
The rally on Wall Street came as some traders looked to pick up stocks at reduced levels following the steep drop seen on Thursday, which dragged the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 down to their lowest closing levels in six months.
The nosedive also pulled the S&P 500 into correction territory, as the index plunged by more than 10 percent from February’s record highs.
Positive sentiment may also have been generated in reaction to news the U.S. is likely to avoid a government shutdown after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said he would vote to advance a Republican spending bill funding the government through September.
While Democrats oppose the bill, Schumer argued allowing President Donald Trump to “take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”
Meanwhile, traders largely shrugged off a report from the University of Michigan showing a substantial deterioration in consumer sentiment and a surge by inflation expectations in the month of March.
Sector News
Steel stocks turned in some of the market’s best performances on the day, resulting in a 4.0 percent spike by the NYSE Arca Steel Index.
Substantial strength was also visible among computer hardware stocks, with the NYSE Arca Computer Hardware Index soaring by 3.5 percent after ending the previous session at a nearly four-month closing low.
Brokerage stocks also saw significant strength, as reflected by the 3.5 percent surge by the NYSE Arca Securities Broker/Dealer Index.
Semiconductor, software and banking stocks also showed notable moves to the upside amid a broad based rally on Wall Street.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly higher during trading on Friday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index advanced by 0.7 percent, China’s Shanghai Composite Index jumped by 1.8 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index surged by 2.1 percent.
The major European markets also moved to the upside on the day. While the German DAX Index shot up by 1.0 percent, the French CAC 40 Index and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index both jumped by 1.1 percent.
In the bond market, treasuries gave back ground after turning higher over the course of the previous session. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, climbed 3.4 basis points to 4.308 percent.
Looking Ahead
The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting is likely to be in the spotlight next week, although traders are also likely to keep an eye on the latest tariff developments as well as reports on retail sales and industrial production.

This started Feb 9m 1990, James Baker III the Sec of State said to Mikhail Gorbachav, NATO will not move one inch east wood if you agree to German Unification basically ending WW II. The US then cheated in 1994 when Clinton signed off on a plan to extend NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so-called NEOCONS took power. Clinton as the first agent of this. Expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. Russian shrugged that off thinking was no direct threat. Then the U.S. led the bombing of Servia in 1999. This was bad because because it was NATA bombing a European capital, Belgrade 78 days to break the country apart. Russians did not like that but Putin became President and swallowed it andu even started out pro-European and pro-American suggesting that they should join NATO thinking there was still some mutual respect. Then came 911 and Afghanistan and the Russians said we can support you to root out terror. In 2002 the U.S. unilaterally walked out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty which led to the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe which Russia views as a dire direct threat to national security, making possible a strike’ on missiles a few minutes away from Moscow. US put in two AEGIS missile systems calling it ‘defense’. Russia asked how do we know its not Tomahawk nuclear tipped missiles. In 2003 we invaded Iraq on completely phony. In 2004-5 US was involved in a soft regime change in Ukraine. Called the ‘First Color Revolution. Put in President Yushchenko. US had it dirty hands in this meddling in other countries elections. In 2009 Yamukovych won the election and became President on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. People of Ukraine did not want NATO. Country was divided between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. ‘Why do want this? In 2014 the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yamukovych – a typical US regime change operation. In 2019 we walked out of the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty. In 2017 we walked out of the JCPOA Treaty with Iran. On Dec 15, 2021 Putin put on the table a draft US/Russia Security Agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement. Jake Sullivan said the U.S. had an OPEN DOOR policy.

U.S. Stocks Move Sharply Lower, S&P 500 Enters Correction Territory
Stocks moved sharply lower over the course of the trading day on Thursday, more than offsetting the gains posted during Wednesday’s session. The major averages tumbled to six-month closing lows, with the S&P 500 entering correction territory more than 10 percent below February’s record highs.
The major averages ended the day off their worst levels but still firmly negative. The Nasdaq plunged 345.44 points or 2.0 percent to 17,303.01, the S&P 500 slumped 77.78 points or 1.4 percent to 5,521.52 and the Dow dove 537.36 points or 1.3 percent to 40,813.57.
The sell-off on Wall Street came amid ongoing concerns about President Donald Trump’s trade policies after he suggested the U.S. would respond to the European Union’s countermeasures with even more tariffs.
With the EU saying it would impose tariffs on approximately $28 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, Trump indicated the U.S. would react with reciprocal tariffs
“Whatever they charge us with, we’re charging them,” Trump told reporters on Wednesday. “Nobody can complain about that.”
Trump later threatened in a post on Truth Social to impose a 200 percent tariff on all wines, champagnes and alcoholic products coming out of the EU in response to a “nasty” 50 percent tariff on whisky.
Meanwhile, traders largely shrugged off a Labor Department report showing producer prices in the U.S. were unexpectedly flat in the month of February.
The Labor Department said its producer price index for final demand was unchanged in February after climbing by an upwardly revised 0.6 percent in January.
Economists had expected producer prices to rise by 0.3 percent compared to the 0.4 percent growth originally reported for the previous month.
The report also said the annual rate of growth by producer prices slowed to 3.2 percent in February from an upwardly revised 3.7 percent in January.
The annual rate of producer price growth was expected to dip to 3.3 percent from the 3.5 percent originally reported for the previous month.
A separate report released by the Labor Department unexpectedly showed a modest decrease by first-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits in the week ended March 8th.
“Financial markets are paying more attention to announcements from the White House about tariffs and job cuts than the hard numbers,” said Bill Adams, Chief Economist for Comerica Bank.
Sector News
Computer hardware stocks showed a substantial move to the downside, dragging the NYSE Arca Computer Hardware Index down by 2.9 percent to a nearly four-month closing low.
Significant weakness was also visible among retail stocks, with the Dow Jones U.S. Retail Index tumbling by 2.6 percent to its lowest closing level in well over four months.
Software stocks also saw considerable weakness on the day, as reflected by the 2.3 percent slump by the Dow Jones U.S. Software Index.
Adobe (ADBE) led the sector lower, plunging by 13.9 percent after reporting better than expected first quarter earnings but providing disappointing second quarter guidance.
Housing, brokerage and commercial real estate stocks also saw notable weakness, while gold stocks were among the few groups to buck the downtrend amid a sharp increase by the price of the precious metal.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly lower on Thursday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index edged down by 0.1 percent, China’s Shanghai Composite Index fell by 0.4 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index slid by 0.6 percent.
Most European stocks also moved to the downside on the day. The French CAC 40 Index and the German DAX Index declined by 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, although the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index closed just above the unchanged line.
In the bond market, treasuries moved higher over the course of the session after seeing early weakness. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, slid 4.4 basis points to 4.274 percent after reaching a high of 4.353 percent.
Looking Ahead
The latest developments on the tariff front are likely to be in focus on Friday, while traders are also likely to keep an eye on the University of Michigan’s preliminary report on consumer sentiment and inflation expectations in March.

U.S. Stocks Move Mostly Higher After Early Volatility
After seeing considerable volatility early in the session, stocks moved mostly higher over the course of the trading day on Wednesday. With the upward move, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 regained ground after ending Tuesday’s trading at their lowest closing levels in six months.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way higher, jumping 212.35 points or 1.2 percent to 17,648.45. The S&P 500 also climbed 27.23 points or 0.5 percent to 5,599.30, although the narrower Dow bucked the uptrend and dipped 82.55 points or 0.2 percent to 41,350.93.
The strength on Wall Street came following the release of a closely watched Labor Department report showing consumer prices in the U.S. increased by slightly less than expected in the month of February.
The Labor Department said its consumer price index crept up by 0.2 percent in February after climbing by 0.5 percent in January. Economists had expected consumer prices to rise by 0.3 percent.
Excluding food and energy prices, the core consumer price index also rose by 0.2 percent in February following a 0.4 percent increase in January. Core prices were also expected to climb by 0.3 percent.
The report also said the annual rate of consumer price growth slowed to 2.8 percent in February from 3.0 percent in January. Economists had expected the pace of price growth to edge down to 2.9 percent.
The annual rate of core consumer price growth also slowed to 3.1 percent in February from 3.3 percent in January. Core price growth was expected to dip to 3.2 percent.
The tamer-than-expected inflation data led to some optimism about the Federal Reserve resuming interest rate cuts in the near future.
“With a lower-than-expected inflation number (both month-over-month and year-over-year), at least the Fed still has the flexibility to step in to support a weaker economy, and that would be good news for markets,” said Chris Zaccarelli, Chief Investment Officer for Northlight Asset Management.
Buying interest was somewhat subdued, however, as concerns about the impact of new trade policies continue to weigh on the markets.
With new U.S. steel and aluminum imports taking effect today, the European Union said it would impose counter tariffs on 26 billion euros ($28 billion) worth of U.S. goods beginning next month.
Canada has also announced it will impose 25 percent tariffs on more than $20 billion worth of U.S. goods in retaliation for the steel and aluminum duties
Sector News
Semiconductor stocks saw substantial strength amid a surge by shares of Nvidia (NVDA), with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumping by 2.5 percent after ending the previous session at a nearly eleven-month closing low.
Significant strength was also visible among software stocks, as reflected by the 1.5 percent gain posted by the Dow Jones U.S. Software Index.
Banking and networking stocks also saw some strength on the day, while airline, telecom and pharmaceutical stocks showed notable moves to the downside.
Other Markets
In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly lower on Wednesday. China’s Shanghai Composite Index dipped by 0.2 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index slid by 0.8 percent, although Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index bucked the downtrend and inched up by 0.1 percent.
Meanwhile, the major European markets moved to the upside on the day. While the German DAX Index surged by 1.6 percent, the French CAC 40 Index and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index climbed by 0.6 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively.
In the bond market, treasuries moved to the downside over the course of the session after seeing early volatility. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, rose 3.0 basis points to 4.318 percent.
Looking Ahead
Reports on producer price inflation and weekly jobless claims are likely to attract attention on Thursday along with the latest developments on the tariff front.
I believe I have heard the word ‘tariff’ more times since President Trump took office, than I had cumulative in my entire life beforehand. We don’t know what the impact of the tariffs will ultimately be, but what we do know is gold has continued to shine as a safe haven during this period of uncertainty.

The US then cheated in 1994 when Clinton signed off on a plan to extend NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so-called NEOCONS took power. Clinton as the first agent of this. Expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. Russian shrugged that off thinking was no direct threat. Then the U.S. led the bombing of Servia in 1999. This was bad because because it was NATA bombing a European capital, Belgrade 78 days to break the country apart. Russians did not like that but Putin became President and swallowed it andu even started out pro-European and pro-American suggesting that they should join NATO thinking there was still some mutual respect. Then came 911 and Afghanistan and the Russians said we can support you to root out terror. In 2002 the U.S. unilaterally walked out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty which led to the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe which Russia views as a dire direct threat to national security, making possible a strike’ on missiles a few minutes away from Moscow. US put in two AEGIS missile systems calling it ‘defense’. Russia asked how do we know its not Tomahawk nuclear tipped missiles. In 2003 we invaded Iraq on completely phony. In 2004-5 US was involved in a soft regime change in Ukraine. Called the ‘First Color Revolution. Put in President Yushchenko. US had it dirty hands in this meddling in other countries elections. In 2009 Yamukovych won the election and became President on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. People of Ukraine did not want NATO. Country was divided between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. ‘Why do want this? In 2014 the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yamukovych – a typical US regime change operation. In 2019 we walked out of the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty. In 2017 we walked out of the JCPOA Treaty with Iran. On Dec 15, 2021 Putin put on the table a draft US/Russia Security Agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement. Jake Sullivan said the U.S. had an OPEN DOOR policy.

Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.
