Good MorningEquity markets struggled with direction on Thursday following NVIDIA's blowout earnings report on Wednesday evening. As strong as the report is, as much outperformance relative to consensus as was displayed, the market expected nothing less, creating a sell-the-news event. The uptrend in NVIDIA will likely continue, but the correction that began earlier this summer is not over. NVIDIA's shares fell more than 6% for the session, confirming resistance at recent highs and setting up a fall that could retest the recent lows 20% below the current action.
Thursday's news was not all bad. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Russell 2000 advanced, led by the Russell. The action indicates that sector rotation is still in play, with investors moving out of tech and into a broader range of stocks, which means stock volatility will persist. The takeaway is that a correction in the S&P 500 will set up a buying opportunity for next year's winners; the questions are how deep the correction will get and how long it will last.
