The major indexes are down again as the Nasdaq closed at a two-year low on Wednesday — and more in Tuesday’s stock market recap.
The International Monetary Fund expects global growth to slow to 2.7% in 2023, 0.2% lower than its last forecast in July. It also said that 2023 could feel like a recession for millions of people around the world.
Once again, we have a U.S. market derailed overnight by troubles in the global economy, a pattern I’ve been pointing out for the past few weeks.
We’ll get more information later this week about how the U.S. economy is doing in the form of the Producer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, and the Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday.
These will be the last PPI and CPI reports before the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate meeting on Nov. 2. We’ll want to see these numbers come in lower month over month, which could mean inflation has peaked.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss why I believe stocks are close to bottoming out… what’s driving the U.S. market lower these past few weeks… how the latest Fed data could show whether inflation has peaked… the major levels on the S&P 500 and small caps we’re watching… the best way to trade this market in the short term… plus what to expect next.

P.S. Introducing ‘The Ultimate Portfolio’
It’s no secret that we’re in a tough market.
The daily volatility and uncertain outlook can be stressful, even for seasoned traders.
Which is why I’ve been researching a way to simplify investing… to slow it down.
What I uncovered were five stocks that have never lost during a market crash since 2000. They’ve also outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 3,000%…
And I believe they’re positioned for another strong run.
These stocks are part of what I’m calling “The Ultimate Portfolio.”
And I’m going live at 1 p.m. EDT today, Tuesday, Oct. 11, for the full reveal!
