Joel Elconin - Tech Weakness or "Software Massacre" & Commodities Volatility

17 minutes

In this episode of the KE Report, we chat with Joel Elconin, Co-host of Pre-Market Prep and Founder of the Stock Trader Network, to dissect a sea of red across the tech sector, metals markets volatility, and a pivotal moment for the broader markets.

Key Discussion Points:

Software’s Identity Crisis: Why AI’s ability to write code is making software companies like Microsoft ($MSFT), ServiceNow ($NOW), and Salesforce ($CRM) vulnerable.

The S&P 7000 Barrier: Analyzing the technical rejection at all-time highs and whether the market is forming a topping pattern.

Inflation & Commodities: How the moves in Silver ($SLV), Copper ($CPER), and Oil ($USO) suggest that inflation is far from dead, keeping the Fed on pause.

The Ruthless Machines: The role of algorithmic trading and zero-day options in amplifying market swings and "slamming bids" without regard for fundamentals.

Value Rotation: Why the smart money is moving toward lower P/E stocks and "old economy" winners like General Motors ($GM).
