Questions about earnings, a possible recession means more selling in the future

The Dow and S&P 500 have fallen for six days in a row, with many of those who saw a broad sell-off seen typical of the so-called “crash” days.

This can sometimes be a conflicting buy signal on Wall Street, but many investment professionals are skeptical that the selling is over. One reason is that earnings forecasts for next year still show solid growth, which is unlikely in the event of a recession.

said Andrew Smith, chief investment strategist at Delos Capital Advisors in Dallas. “But I find it hard to reconcile in my mind that the earnings story is going to be as good as we expect.”

On the positive side, Smith cited a strong labor market and signs of continued travel spending as a sign that the US economy may be able to avoid a major recession.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 hit a June low on Tuesday

Although Tuesday’s closing levels showed relatively modest daily moves, the S&P 500 fell below its intraday low of the year during the session. This move was seen by many as confirmation of the failure of the stock’s summer rally.

The S&P 500 is now 24.3% off its high, and the Dow is in bear market territory, down nearly 21.2%. The Nasdaq Composite, whose low dates back to last November, is 33.2% below its high.

The next major gauge for investors in the coming days could come from the bond market, where the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to just under the 4% level.
