At-a-Glance
Today’s Top Highlights
The general theme for the week continued today with the equity indices seeing strong selling pressure across the board with the S&P, Nasdaq and Russell all trading lower by over 1% today. The Nasdaq led the selling trading lower by just under 2% and both the S&P and Nasdaq are trading at the lowest levels seen since September of 2025. Since last Friday, when these markets traded below their own 200-day moving averages, they have both not been able to trade out above that level with any conviction and that level now is acting as a “ceiling” as the markets continued to selloff headed into the weekend. The Russell on the other hand, while still trading lower by over 1.5% is still trading out above its 200-day moving average.
The precious metals are telling the opposite story today with Gold and Silver both trading higher by around 3% today after seeing some back and forth volatility all week. After seeing the sharp move lower last week, these markets have just chopped around after a slight recovery right after the sharp move lower. Along with that, the Crude market saw a sharp gain today trading up over 4% and trading right near the $99/barrel level, and right out above that level is where prices have seen some congestion, so traders will be watching for the $100/barrel level as a psychological point in the market.
