Futures are plunging globally on snowballing concerns about economic growth: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

U.S. Stock Futures Plunging in Perfect Storm for Market Selloff

“Futures are plunging globally on snowballing concerns about economic growth following Friday’s soft jobs report,” said Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report research. “Global growth concerns are the main reason behind the stock weakness but technical factors are majorly at play.”

We started the landing a couple months ago

We started the landing a couple months ago: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

The Market Is Finally Paying Attention to Slowing Growth. That Doesn’t Mean We’re Headed for a Recession.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye argues the latest data doesn’t rule out a soft landing, though some market participants had until recently ruled out a hard landing.

“We started the landing a couple months ago,” Essaye says. “It’s no different than when you’re on an actual plane. Sometimes the plane descends more quickly than other times, but that doesn’t mean that you’re crashing.”

Essaye argues summer jobs numbers are generally volatile, so he doesn’t expect the Fed to start panicking. He also notes other economic metrics like retail sales and durable goods, while slowing, are not showing extreme weakness. On the flip side, he thinks a market that had been oblivious to slowing growth could show signs of weakness in the coming weeks.

“The data was not that bad,” Essaye says. “The fact that the S&P 500 is down two and a half percent is more a function of the market’s complacency toward this risk, rather than it is the risk actually becoming substantially greater.”

Markets have been just fine accepting some “bad” labor data

Markets have been just fine accepting some “bad” labor data: Tom Essaye Quoted in Blockworks

Fed holds interest rates, US equities and cryptos stay in the green

So far, markets have been just fine accepting some “bad” labor data since it means rate cuts are more likely, but this could change in the near-term, Sevens Report Research founder Tom Essaye said.

“A ‘Too Hot’ number that pushes back against September rate cut expectations is the near-term ‘worst’ outcome for stocks, while a slightly weak number (a bit below expectations) is the ‘best’ short-term outcome for stocks because it implies still-solid economic growth but also clears the Fed to continue to plan to cut rates in September and, most likely, again in December,” Essaye said.

And that’s really what’s been going on in the earnings season: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

Nvidia and Other Chip Stocks Are Leading the Market Lower Ahead of Big Tech Earnings

“I don’t think the market is really doubting the whole AI story at this point,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s. “But I do think there are extremely high growth expectations. And if those growth expectations disappoint, even a little bit, then you’ll see some punishment. And that’s really what’s been going on in the earnings season.”

The biggest question facing investors today remains ‘Is It Different This Time?

The biggest question facing investors today remains ‘Is It Different This Time?: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

The Stock Market Doesn’t Look Like the Dot-Com Bubble. It’s Something Worse.

No, that’s not the real worry. The S&P 500 is. It smacks of 2007 all over again. From last July until now, the index has traded with an 85% correlation to July 2006 though July 2007, according to Sevens Report’s Tom Essaye.

Essaye went so far as to describe the resemblance of this market to the 2007 market as “concerning to say the least.” And he touched on the uncertainty that investors are facing.

“The biggest question facing investors today remains ‘Is It Different This Time?’” he wrote

We’re staring at big catalysts: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

Tech Stocks Are Sliding Ahead of Key Earnings Reports

“There was not much going on yesterday and there isn’t a ton going on today, either,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s. “And we’ve had sort of big moves in the market, and we’re staring at big catalysts.”

Reports from Alphabet and Tesla may have lowered the bar for Big Tech, Essaye says. On the flip side, the megacap tech stocks have run up tremendously on high expectations for growth ahead driven by artificial intelligence. That changed in July, when tech stocks started to struggle to keep up as investors rotated from the sector to underperforming small-cap names.

“Investors are kind of more in a ‘show me’ mode now than they have been in a long time with these names,” Essaye says. “They want to see better earnings before they jump back in for fear that this rotation isn’t over.”

This week is very important for AI and tech: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

Apple Falls, Microsoft and Other Tech Stocks Rise. Earnings Week Is All About AI.

“This week is very important for AI and tech because MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, and META, all AI darlings, report earnings and if they post disappointing guidance, it will further erode AI enthusiasm and we could see this pullback continue,” Sevens Report’s Tom Essaye wrote on Monday.
