Turnaround Tuesday? Stocks open higher after massive sell-offThe aftermath from Monday’s routGoogle ruling aftermath

US stocks eyed a rebound on Tuesday following a three-day rout that wiped a healthy chunk of 2024’s market gains. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the day’s gains, opening around 0.6% higher. The benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) followed suit, inching up about 0.5% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) hugged the flatline.

Stocks got crushed on Monday, part of a two-day tailspin on Wall Street that served as a boisterous reaction to fresh concern over the health of the US economy and its labor market. The S&P 500 had its worst day since 2022 and capped its worst start to any month since 2002.

The benchmark has shed around 6% in the past three sessions, bringing year-to-date gains back to around 9%.

But early market signs point to a recovery. Wall Street’s “fear gauge” — the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX) — touched its highest level since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday. On Tuesday, it fell back to earth, to levels seen often in 2022.

Some of the market’s biggest names also were aiming for a rejuvenation. The “Magnificent 7” stocks lost more than $650 billion in market cap on Monday. On Tuesday, that looked set to change. Nvidia (NVDA), which led the way down, rose over 3% before the market open. Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta (META) all rose more than 1%.

Cryptocurrencies, which weren’t spared from the rout, also rose in tandem with the optimism. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) was up 7%, rising back above the $55,000 level. Meanwhile, the global sell-off also steadied: Japan’s Nikkei (^N225) index closed up over 10%.

The coming days — and weeks — will provide key signals for what comes next. As Yahoo Finance’s Myles Udland writes, stocks still have the same problem waking up Tuesday that they did Monday: the Federal Reserve. The Fed has come under mounting pressure to act, as around three-quarters of traders now expect a 50-basis-point rate cut at its next meeting.

    Turnaround Tuesday? Stocks open higher after massive sell-off

    US stocks are eyeing a comeback with all three major indexes opening in the green Tuesday. The moves follow a steep three-day rout that eliminated a significant portion of year-to-date market gains.

    The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) led the day’s gains, opening about 0.6% and 0.5% higher, respectively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) traded just above the flatline.

    In other positive market signs, Wall Street’s “fear gauge” — the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX) — fell back to levels seen often in 2022 after it touched its highest level since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday.

    The aftermath from Monday’s rout

    The mindset of Wall Street generally cracks me up.

    On Monday as the market was melting down, pundits were all but predicting a fourth quarter recession and the onset of a bear market. Today, I awake to read many of these same pundits talking about calm returning to markets!

    The reality is that when the Dow drops more than 1,000 points in a single session (as it did on Monday, in case you forgot already) it suggests broken confidence. And that confidence isn’t repaired overnight — it takes time and wild short-term swings in stocks. So be patient here and question anyone saying the coast is clear.

    To that end, I liked what the JP Morgan team put out this morning in terms of a guide for assessing a potential market bottom:

    “We currently don’t have the full set of ingredients of a market bottom, such as the slope of the 20-day moving average flattening, market breadth hitting and bouncing off lows, positioning and sentiment washout, convincing highs in the put/call ratio, coming out of VIX inversion, etc. There is good reason to worry about this correction, as unemployment bottoming off cycle lows has historically led to recession, while the previous market assumption was that the unemployment rate uptick reflected labor supply normalization. In equities, we see the position-heavy reversal of momentum trades and defensive leadership signaling worries about growth risk.”

    Google ruling aftermath

    Alphabet (GOOGL) shares are hanging in there after a legal blow late Monday.

    A judge found the company’s search and ad businesses violated antitrust law. More analysis from Yahoo Finance’s Alexis Keenan and Dan Howley here.

    Wall Street mostly appears to be taking the news in stride — no downgrades or estimate cuts this morning.

    But, I do think RBC analyst Brad Erickson brings up key points for those longer-term investors in the stock:

    “Whatever multiple an investor was thought to be paying for the search business, we’d think that value would likely have to be discounted by some amount given the implications of today’s announcement. We’ve been saying for some time that with all of the AI chatbot competitors out there, what really mattered for the GOOGL bear case was the distribution of its search engine as opposed to debating which bot was better. In this case, while it’s presumable/possible that the company could lose a few points of share over the next few years to the degree that the DOJ successfully removes GOOGL’s default status, we’d think it’s very unlikely that a more material portion of searches move away from Google given users’ familiarity and overall Google ecosystem halo. With that said, Apple’s unveiling of ChatGPT as an initial preferred partner for iOS 18 technically implied a slightly shrinking moat for GOOGL where today’s news could be looked at in the same vein (Apple’s hedge now looks rather prescient).”
