S&P500 tunnels through as recession risk rises.
“Inflation continues to stay stubbornly high, further interest rate hike prompt recessionary risks.”
S&P500 notched in its worst slide since 2008 as the index fell more than 1% due to selloff on technology, energy, and industrial stocks. Sentiment among investors remain bleak as Federal Reserve continues its fight against stubbornly high inflation since early this year. Regardless, Fed’s approach which accelerated borrowing rates in a short period of time may spark recession sooner than later, prompting the market to reduce their risky holdings and turn over to safe havens.
