The wheels are coming off the equity market with the S&P 500 down nearly 3% and the Nasdaq down 4.2%. The market was evidently looking for a nod to rate cuts from Powell and it didn’t come.
Now we’re getting some serious kicking and screaming. USD/JPY has broken the 2025 low and is trading at the worst levels since October as stops are hit in a quick, 70 pip move.
