Good MorningEquity markets extended their selloff on Monday as fear grips the market. The fear is due to persistent inflation, high interest rates, and mounting geopolitical tension in the Mideast. Israel is expected to launch a retaliatory attack against Iran at any time, which could lead the region into widespread conflict.
Equity markets fell more than 1.0% for the day and may move lower as the week progresses. The VIX, the market's fear index, surged more than 10% to a 6-month high, indicating volatility is back. The S&P 500 could recover from Monday's losses in this scenario, but a sustained rally is unlikely. The more likely scenario is the equities will suffer a sustained downtrend due to profit-taking and risk reduction. Such a move could leave the S&P 500 down by 15% to 20% by the start of summer.
This week brings additional risk in the form of earnings reports and economic data. The Q1 reporting season is ramping to full speed, and the economic calendar is full. Netflix tops the list of earnings reports and releases the info late in the week. Topping the list of economic reports is the housing data, which will show the impact of interest rate swings.
