Tuesday 18 January 2022

Rough start

US equity indexes closed very significantly lower, SPX -85pts (1.8%) at 4577. Nasdaq comp' -2.6%. Dow -1.5%. The Transports settled -1.6%. R2K -3.0%

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened significantly lower, and whilst there were repeated bounce attempts, the market settled sig' lower. Volatility picked up, the VIX settling +18.8% to 22.79.

I will merely add, today's close in the Nasdaq comp' under its 200dma merits alarm bells. We can expect further market drama across the next week or two.
