PRO videocast: Breaking down the stock market rout

Mike Santoli and I broke down the stock market internals that occurred during the nearly 5% rout in the S&P 500 Thursday, trying to determine whether we are seeing the kind of panic that typically occurs around market bottoms.

Santoli and I also discuss:

  • How investors are still holding onto a belief that these tariff rates will be negotiated down by Trump
  • What the market is saying about recession odds
  • Where investors were playing defense and the areas of the market that were working on Thursday
