Markets had their worst day since 2020. The NDX plunged more than 5% while the SPX entered correction territory by tumbling close to 5%. President Trump's steeper-than-expected tariffs led to massive selling action in tech and the Mag 7. RH (RH) closed down 40% due to a triple whammy of lower earnings and guidance, topped by tariff uncertainty. One winner of the day: Intel (INTC), after The Inform...

He calls the next 12-18 months “pretty worrisome.” He doesn’t think consumers are “strong enough to bear the brunt” of this. He thinks Powell will be extra cautious going forward because it will be uncertain whether tariffs are a one-time price increase or inflationary. He...

Tim Urbanowicz believes President Trump's tariffs are a "starting point for negotiations" to remove trade barriers, but he's concerned as to "what's going to be enough" to make that happen. He's bracing for markets to slide another 5% to 10% as tariff disputes continue. One positive Tim points to is tech valuations coming down to more reasonable levels. That sai...

George Seay looks at other historical market plunges to call today a “big bag of nothing.” However, he expects it to get “a lot worse before it gets better,” so investors should be cautious when entering dips.

Sean Dranfield joins Oliver Renick to discuss the bond market and its recent moves. He argues that the 10-year Treasury yield's significant decline since the start of the year is a sign of a "risk off" move, and that the bond market is pricing in deflationary outcomes and recession.
