The Morning Look
Stock Market Overview:
U.S. stock futures are plunging once again ahead of Thursday’s open. Overnight, China’s stocks plunged another 7% and were closed after circuit breakers were triggered for the second time this week. This clearly is not a good sign to see a major stock market in the world plunge and close twice in one week. Remember, stocks fell hard on Monday and Wednesday and are down substantially so far this week. Keep in mind we have the always-fun jobs report on Friday and the market remains “oversold” in the short term.
Gary’s Thoughts: This bear market did not start this week. We have highlighted it for you for months. This is just the 30% holding up the indices finally gagging. Do not believe those who missed it all and now saying it’s becuase of China.
