Stock market volatility back to its post-pandemic peak
Volatility in stock markets was back to its post-pandemic peak last week, with the mighty S&P 500, the world’s largest stockmarket index by value, falling by 2.8% on Tuesday, only to rise by 2.5% on Thursday, before selling off 3.6% on Friday. So much of the value of the S&P 500 is now concentrated in a few technology behemoths that their fate determines its fate. Thursday’s rebound had much to do with unexpectedly strong results from Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook) amongst others, and Friday’s sell-off appeared to have been triggered by disappointing results from Alphabet and Amazon, combined perhaps with the negative outlook expressed by Apple’s management. However, these problems were mainly related to the pandemic’s distortion of supply and demand. Alphabet reported a deterioration in demand from customers in Europe, but this should be seen in the context of a quarter in which Alphabet’s revenues still grew at a 20% rate.
Stocks featured:
Amazon.com, Apple, Alphabet, Chevron Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corp, Meta Plaforms, Robinhood Markets and Twitter
