Stocks plunge…then rally
Despite positive futures Sunday evening, markets on Monday morning sold off hard on disappointing U.S. manufacturing data. The Nasdaq plunged nearly 5%, the Dow shed as much as 1,115 points while the TSX slid over 3%. However, after lunch, buyers pushed out sellers and markets actually closed positive in a spectacular reversal. The Dow finished up 99 points or 0.39%, the S&P 0.29% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq surged 0.63%. Notably, the U.S. 10-year yield fell during the session though inched up to 1.767%.
Many laggards had fallen twice or three times further than their closes, including Tesla at -3.41%, Netflix -2.6% and Airbnb -5.63%. Notable gainers were Adobe up 3.95%, Caesars 5.25%, Best Buy 5.11%, Domino’s Pizza 4.93% and the Gap at 7.94%. Cryptos also had a wild session as Bitcoin sank to $33,000 before finishing almost $37,000, gaining 5% on Monday.
Oil fell short of recovering with WTI and WCS both surrendering around 1.5% the close below $84 and under $70 respectively. The same can be said of the TSX which rallied into the close but still finished -0.24%. Tech rallied, but financial and energy lagged. Shopify surged 7%. Other winners included Well Health up 5.77%, Bombardier at 4.52%, MTY Food Group 3.51% and GFL Environmental 3.37%. On the losing end were Suncor at -2.58%, CNQ -2.56% and Blackberry -3.18%.
