Nasdaq was the biggest loser on Friday shedding 3.94% as it printed the worst losses since mid-June.

The CFGI score today is even lower than the 33 recorded nine days ago, as the current CFGI score is a 28 or “fear.” Similarly, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) saw a 3.78 point rise following Powell’s ten-minute speech. Nasdaq volatility has shown similar fluctuations as the VIX volatility gauge. Uurimine shows cryptocurrency and bitcoin markets have been more correlated with equities markets than ever before.
The price of cryptocurrencies moved in sync with US stocks, making the correlation between digital assets and two key indices, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, the strongest since 2010.

Market Strategist Expects to See a 50 juurde 60 Percent Haircut in Equities Markets
Making matters worse, a number of strategists, analysts, and investors believe global markets are only going to get worse. The chief strategist at bubbatrading.com, Todd 'Bubba' Horwitz, told Kitco’s David Lin during a recent interview that stock markets could fall another 50% from here. Horwitz attributed his forecast to the Fed hiking rates amid what many believe to be a recession.
Horwitz further noted that the financial moves may be connected to the controversial Great Reset. ‘[USA. central bank is raising rates during a recession,” Horwitz said to Lin. “It’s never been done in history … There is a political agenda behind all of this stuff that’s going on, which is to try to create the Great Reset.” Horwitz further stressed:
[Biden’s] administration is looking to get the Great Reset. There is going to be no middle class left.
Horwitz also talked about Powell’s commentary at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming. The market strategist said: “[Powell’s] remarks are those of an idiot,” highlighting that at last year’s Symposium Powell stated that inflation was transitory.
“[Jerome Powell] is trying to get away from what’s going to happen, which is going to be hyperinflation,” Horwitz opined. “Wait until the price of oil starts skyrocketing again. What do you think is going to happen to inflation then? We’re going to have a food shortage this year. We’re going to have food riots in many countries,” the strategist added.
The bubbatrading.com analyst concluded that equities are going to suffer but there still may be some opportunistic value out there in commodities markets. “Overall, I expect to see a 50 juurde 60 percent haircut in these [aktsiad] markets,” Horwitz said. “If anybody looks at their own finances, they can certainly see that it’s recessionary times and they’re watching their spending.”
What do you think about the recent stock market rout and crypto correlation? What do you think about Todd ‘Bubba’ Horwitz’s opinion that equities will see a 50% haircut? Andke meile allolevas kommentaaride jaotises teada, mida te selle teema kohta arvate.
