Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Testing June Low but Support Unlikely

I'm back from 4 weeks in Europe. If you tried to contact me and I didn't reply, please try again now.

The NASDAQ has fallen to the support level last seen on June 16th which was followed by a 2 month recovery. On June 16th, the index closed above its low for the day, but that was not the case yesterday. So support at this level is unlikely.

September was a bleak month with the NASDAQ losing 10.5%. Apple, one of the NASDAQ's tech leaders, dropped 8.1% this week on fears that sales of the new iPhone would tumble. As a result supplier's stocks also fell as well as funds and ETF's that have Apple as a core holding.

Other factors weighing down the markets are:
  • The Fed will likely keep raising rates at a 0.75% clip until inflation is tamed,
  • Europe is likely to go into recession this winter as food and fuel shortages caused by the war drive inflation higher
  • Putin's escalation of the war makes nuclear warfare more likely
