This week, the US stock markets experienced a late attempt at a bounce back, but unfortunately, it fell flat. The Nasdaq had its worst week since April, which is definitely not good news. However, on the bright side, the market was able to recover quickly after a sharp correction back in April.
The price action today was heavily influenced by a whopping $2.7 trillion in options expiring, with $555 billion in single stocks. This July month expiration was the largest ever, highlighting the significant impact the options market currently has on the overall market dynamics.
Looking at the numbers:
– S&P 500 dropped by 0.7%
– Nasdaq Comp fell by 0.8%
– DJIA was down by 0.9%
– Russell 2000 saw a decrease of 0.6%
– Toronto TSX Comp experienced a slight decline of 0.1%
