Wall Street’s Bears Warn of Risks to Stocks Amid Slowing Economy


Wall Street’s stock sell-off is intensifying as concerns grow over the health of the US economy Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 800 points, while Nasdaq 100 futures fell nearly 5%, and S&P 500 futures declined almost 3%. The CBOE Volatility Index soared to its highest level since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The global stock market is experiencing a rapid sell-off following a lackluster US jobs report, raising concerns about the economy and the Federal Reserve’s timing on interest rate cuts. Major companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla saw significant declines, and Bitcoin dropped over 15%.

The sell-off has spread globally, with Japan’s Nikkei 225 experiencing its biggest-ever daily loss. Oil prices also fell, with WTI crude futures nearing $72 a barrel. This week, US unemployment claims will be closely watched for further economic insights.
