Morgan Stanley sees growing risk of 'earnings recession' next year as yield curve inverts
Chief equity strategist Michael Wilson adds that he wasn't surprised to see Wall Street's major indexes swoon in response to the shift in rates last week. Wilson warned of dismal results in equities throughout 2018 and said the market could be paralyzed in a "rolling bear market" for the next several years. Inversion of the so-called yield curve is yet another reason to fear an earnings, or even an economic, recession in 2019, according to Morgan Stanley.

Nasdaq pushes higher as broader stock market pares sharp decline

The Nasdaq Composite bucked the trend to advance thanks to a strong performance by shares of semiconductor companies. The Nasdaq Composite Index (COMP) rose 31 points, or 0.5%, to 7,000.

Stocks Fall on Heightened Trade Worry; Euro Climbs: Markets Wrap

Sentiment in financial markets has been fragile in recent weeks as traders gauge whether the Fed could slow its tightening path as trade war fears linger.

This year's losers will be next year's winners, Goldman's Kostin says
Stocks that have underperformed in 2018 will lead the market in 2019, Goldman Sachs strategist David Kostin said. Goldman expects 2019 to offer muted returns, with the S&P finishing about 5 percent ahead of where the firm sees 2018 closing. Stocks that have gotten clobbered during the volatile 2018 cycle are the ones most likely to lead the market next year, according to Goldman Sachs.

Allscripts shares rise on news to sell Netsmart, but Leerink questions move
Shares of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. rose 4.1% Monday, after the company said it is selling its Netsmart Technologies Inc. business for about $525 million. The healthcare IT company placed its homecare business in Netsmart in March of 2016 in exchange for the largest ownership stake in the company, which specializes in behavioral health, human services and post-acute care. The company expects the deal to close by the end of the fourth quarter. It will use the proceeds to pay down debt, invest in growth areas and buy back stock. Leerink analyst David Larsen said he viewed the sale as a "mixed outcome" for shareholders. "We are encouraged that the sale proceeds of ~$525M will allow the company to reduce its leverage and provide the potential for more share repurchases, but we question why management would sell the company if it has generated such good growth and value over the past few years," Larsen wrote in a note. "With weak 3Q18 bookings blamed in part by Netsmart sales distractions, we believe there will be even greater focus on 4Q18 bookings which may disappoint and lead to further stock pressure." Allscripts shares have fallen 32% in 2018, while the S&P 500 has fallen 1.9%.

The selling puts the S&P 500 back in negative territory for 2018. If the calendar year ended today, the S&P would be down 1.2% on a total returns basis, a small drop in nominal terms that's pretty significant in relative terms.

Apple news from China is 'another gut punch' for iPhone maker, analyst says
News that a Chinese court has ordered Apple Inc. to stop selling some iPhones after finding it infringed on patents held by Qualcomm Inc. is "another gut punch" for the company that adds to all the noise recently coming from China, according to Wedbush. Analyst Daniel Ives said the news is concerning, although he is expecting it to affect just 10% to 15% of sales in the region. "In a nutshell, with China being a linchpin of growth for Apple around iPhone sales any further dent in the armor at this juncture is not what Apple or investors wanted to see given the headwinds around sales of its latest XR model," Ives wrote in a note. "It continues to feel like every day the sun will come out and there will be another bad data point for Apple as since the company reported its quarter in early November it's been a string of bad news around iPhone demand, transparency in the food chain, supplier cuts, China tariff worries with the stock down significantly and losing its gains for the year." Still, Ives said he expects today's news to offer more noise than something that will have a real impact. He reiterated his outperform rating on the stock, which was down 0.1% in afternoon trade, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.8% and the S&P 500 was down 0.7%.
