Although S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP:.INX) only declined 0.7%, there was a lot going on under the surface. And some of it was a bit crazy.
The GBP British Pound flash crashed, Gold fell another 4.5%, and Utilities followed through to the downside. Will currency market jitters eventually find their way to global stock markets? Or will the decline of the “fear trade” open the door for a move higher in equities.
We should find out soon enough. The S&P 500 has traded in a tightening range for the past 2-3 weeks – somethings gotta give. So it’s a good time to stay patience and accumulate ideas.
