$SPX500 is now 2% off its recent ATHs. The Fear&Greed Index is as low as 34 already. I have a feeling we’re repeating the case from the start of Summer, when a tiny correction for equities cause a big increase in nervosity among investors. This is how the Wall of worry usualy builds up and is rarely a sign of a bigger correction ahead. We’ll see how it plays out this time around.

👉 On Tuesday “Goldman Sachs downgraded its outlook for U.S. economic growth, saying in a note to clients that the ramifications from the delta variant and the end of fiscal stimulus measures will dent consumer spending. Goldman lowered its GDP growth projection to 5.5% for the fourth quarter, down from 6.5% in earlier projections. The firm expects annual growth to be 5.7% in 2021, below the 6.2% expected on average by other shops.” (CNBC)
👉 On Wednesday we got the new job openings data, which soared to 10,9m in July, way above the 9,9m estimates. It was yet another worrisome labour dataset after the recent weak NFP reading. This spooked investors.

The tech giant can no longer force developers to use in-app purchasing, a federal judge ruled Friday in a closely watched trial between Apple and Epic Games.” (CNBC)
