When in reality, the Fed is going to do what it has to do to get inflation down,” said Michael Reynolds, vice president of investment strategy at Glenmede, by phone. U.S. productivity fell at a 7.5% annual rate in the first quarter, the biggest drop since 1947. Unit-labor costs jumped at an 11.6% annual pace in the first quarter. “It’s conceivable the S&P 500 needs to establish a bottom in this 3,850 to 4,000 range,” said John Lynch, chief investment officer for Comerica Wealth Management, in emailed comments.

The Treasury market also saw a dramatic reversal of Wednesday’s rally. ... But having the kind of day we had yesterday and then seeing it 100 percent reversed within half a day is just truly extraordinary,” said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. “Higher equity valuations are incompatible with that desire, so unless supply chains heal rapidly or workers flood back into the labor force, any equity rallies are likely on borrowed time as Fed messaging becomes more hawkish once again.” So we are going to be tightening a bit. The 10-year Treasury yield, which moves opposite of price, surged back above 3 percent on Thursday and hit its highest level since 2018. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 3.19 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1,120 points, or 3.3 percent. Salesforce tumbled 6.3 percent. Microsoft dropped 4.7 percent. The moves come after a major rally for stocks on Wednesday.

Powell added that with record demand for labor, 1.7 million jobs added in 2022 so far and steady consumer spending, the U.S. economy was well equipped to handle the headwinds. “For what it’s worth, we believe the risk of recession is elevated and should not be dismissed. “When the Fed raises rates quickly it is dangerous to the stock market and today we are seeing an example of that,” he continued. Even so, there are growing concerns among policymakers and economists about whether the Fed will be able to do so amid several threats to the U.S. economy. Fed rate hike cycles often take a toll on the stock market as companies brace for higher borrowing costs and slower consumer spending.

ANALYSIS-Buckle up, say traders as Wall Street's wild ride shows ... (Nasdaq)

A massive two-day swing in U.S. stocks highlights a trend that some market participants believe will be a hallmark for months to come: intense volatility.

Prices for oil and many other commodities remain sky high, partially as a result of repercussions from the war in Ukraine. Markets remain focused on inflation, with key U.S. consumer price data coming next week. “The bond market had started to factor in inflation and central bank policy earlier and maybe more effectively than the equity market," said Brooks Ritchey, co-chief investment officer at K2 Advisors, pointing to macro hedge funds as those playing this theme. Wednesday’s rally came after Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced a widely expected 50 basis point interest rate increase and said policymakers were not discussing larger hikes. "It's pretty awful in the equity markets," said Brenner, saying that the selling was a response to Powell's remarks, as investors viewed him even more "behind the curve" in raising rates. The Nasdaq .IXIC plummeted 5%. Over the last five sessions, the index has marked two of its biggest one-day drops since the pandemic roiled markets two years ago, leaving the benchmark index down 13% so far in 2022.

Nasdaq Crash: Here's What Happens Next (Seeking Alpha)

The Fed could prevent a disastrous crash and engineer a 'soft landing' by tweaking liquidity, but a hard landing remains possible. stock market.

Unlike 2007-2008 and other crashes that no one expected, this one has been foreshadowed for a long time so we can expect that the Federal Reserve is prepared for what could happen next and is also prepared to intervene. That is a clue to how they will be adjusting the course of the economy. However, the modern Federal Reserve has shown itself to be fast, flexible and highly competent so there is a good chance it will be able to navigate markets away from the worst of the hazards ahead. The Nasdaq on the other hand is the fast and loose market with all the beta. The governments of the world will not fight inflation by creating a depression. I'm not a perma-bear or a shorter, but I believe one of the keys to investing is spotting a crash when it's coming, because there are great profits from buying the aftermath with the cash from selling out near the top.
