The reasons behind the August market meltdown are numerous and are already moving into the rearview mirror of investors. A coolish reading in the July producer price index (PPI) has investors putting their foot on the gas to get ahead of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates.

Although the market may have hit a calm relative to the wild volatility witnessed earlier this month, we may not be out of the woods yet.

When volatility strikes the stock market as it sets new highs, investors get nervous. Wild swings in price can often signal a market top. After setting a new record high last month, the S&P 500 has peeled back 5% from that level. A string of upcoming economic indicators coming out this week could determine whether
It’s been a tough earnings season for tech stocks. However, few tech stocks can hold a candle to Intel’s (NASDAQ:INTC) horrendous post-earnings price performance. Trading in the mid-$30s per share as recently as a month ago, Intel stock fell by more than 26% right after a poorly-received earnings release and other negative developments. Since then,
A lot of analysts have been discussing the potential of Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock from the lens of the company’s slowly declining innovative edge.

The S&P 500 is a well-recognized benchmark within the stock market. It holds shares in 500 companies and prioritizes them by market cap.

This market cap-weighted setup explains why the Magnificent Seven stocks continue to impact the stock market’s performance.
Always pay close attention to new stock price targets from firms, like Needham. While the firm won’t always get it right, price upgrades are still worth paying attention to.

Now might be a prudent time to consider selling these lithium mining stocks. The rapid expansion of lithium production, particularly in China, has resulted in a global oversupply.

The Russell 2000 index is a collection of the smallest 2000 stocks within the overall Russell index. It is a controversial pick for many investors.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has been living in the shadow of its larger rival, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), for quite some time now. In less than a year, AMD has gone from being seen as a peer to Nvidia to more of a “Nvidia-lite” in the eyes of many investors. The stock tends to move in tandem
