Stock investors, you have now been warned for the last time
This year many technical and macro warning signs were ignored by investors and Wall Street alike. Wall Street analysts kept raising price targets on key stocks such as Apple (AAPL) and telling investors to buy every dip. Only now are they downgrading those same stocks by 20%-25% from where they were in September.

ECB Announcement, Trade Optimism Help Keep Market Momentum Positive
It was looking like a muted opening for U.S. stocks after the European Central Bank said it would stop its bond buying program, a move that had been widely telegraphed in recent months. The planned exit of Britain from the European Union still lacks an agreement while Italy’s budget negotiations with the EU continue to add uncertainty. Meanwhile, France has been struck by civil unrest, with President Emmanuel Macron facing a vote of no-confidence, one day after Britain’s Prime Minister, Theresa May, survived a similar vote over the embattled Brexit negotiations.

When will ‘good’ Donald Trump show up again and fuel a real Santa rally?
Ever since the dawn of his presidency, Wall Street has had to decide which Donald Trump it was dealing with — the “good” Trump or the “bad” Trump. The “good” Trump cut corporate taxes and regulations, while the “bad” Trump shut down immigration, bullied CEOs about keeping jobs in the U.S., and threatened tariff wars with key trading partners. Over the past few weeks, the “bad” Trump has returned, and stocks have reeled.

Markets Should Embrace Volatility While It Lasts
Buy stocks when there’s news that the U.S. and China are making headway in resolving the escalating trade war. To recap, stocks were weighed down early Monday after news broke over the weekend that China summoned U.S. Ambassador Terry Branstad to explain the U.S. request to extradite Huawei Technologies Co. Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou from Canada, where she is being held. Stocks then opened big on Tuesday on the news that U.S. and China officials held a call to discuss trade, followed by a Bloomberg News report that China is mulling a proposal to reduce tariffs on cars made in the U.S. to 15 percent from the current 40 percent — bringing the U.S. back in line with what other countries pay.

US STOCKS-S&P, Dow lose 2018 gains as global growth fears grip Wall St
The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped back to losses for the year on Thursday, as U.S. stocks fell on mounting worries of slowing global growth after a fresh twist in China-U.S. tensions as well as lower oil prices and U.S. bond yields. The arrest of Chinese smartphone maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's chief financial officer at the request of the United States cast fresh doubts over the prospect of Beijing and Washington striking a deal on trade tariffs in their 90-day truce period.

Wall Street's 'fear index' surges to 9-month high as Dow drops nearly 800 points
A popular gauge of volatility on Wall Street, known as the fear index, on Thursday jumped to its highest level since February as stocks tanked on the back of mounting global-growth fears. The CBOE Volatility Index , which uses S&P 500 bullish and bearish options to calculate expectations for volatility over the coming 30 days, was at 25.73, up 24%, in recent trade, which would mark its highest level (on a closing basis) since Feb. 9, according to FactSet data. The volatility index, referring to its popular ticker symbol, tends to maintain an inverse correlation to equity prices, and the jump comes as stocks are in free-fall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 655 points, or 2.5%, at 24,407, coming after the blue-chip benchmark shed 800 points on Tuesday. Markets were closed on Wednesday to mark a national day of mourning for 41st U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush, who died at 94. Meanwhile, on Thursday, the S&P 500 index was down 2.3% at 2,639, while the Nasdaq Composite Index traded 1.7% lower at 7,037.

How to predict the next market downturn
Many financial pros will tell you that a reckoning of some kind is inevitable -- it’s just a matter of when. Financial markets are inherently finicky beasts, after all, prone to bouts of volatility even during periods when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and S&P 500 Index (SPX) are ringing up strings of all-time highs. To help spot warning signs during stretches like this, MarketWatch has created an interactive tool intended to be a sort of financial canary in the coal mine.

Despite ugly plunge for stock market, panicky trading hasn't been triggered, according to Arms and fear index
Although the Dow Jones Industrial Average is tumbling 719 points, in danger of the biggest price decline since March 22, and the S&P 500 is shedding 2.8%, the NYSE's Arms Index suggests sellers are still relatively calm and that panic-like selling hasn't taken hold--yet. The Arms Index is a volume-weighted breadth tracker. It tends to rise above 1.000 when the market falls, as the ratio of volume in declining stocks over advancing stocks usually increases relative to the ratio of declining stocks to advancing stocks. Arms readings above 2.000 suggest panic-like selling. Currently, the NYSE Arms is at 1.638, while the reading for Nasdaq is 1.038. Separately, the so-called fear index, or CBOE Volatility Index , which measures bearish and bullish options bets on the S&P 500 in the coming 30 days, was hanging around 20, near its historical average, when much higher levels would ordinarily be in effect. A day ago, the stock market climbed with risk appetite as President Donald Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping forged a momentary pause in trade hostilities at the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Argentina. However, investors have grown doubtful that a real deal in the long-run is possible. On top of that, the 10-year Treasury rate has extended a drop toward a three-month low at 2.90%, with that move also narrowing a closely watched spread between that benchmark government debt and the short-dated 2-year Treasury note . That spread is the tightest since 2007 at 10 basis points, with a tightening, or flattening, spread between the short-dated and longer-dated bonds, generally reflecting that bond investors harbor a downbeat economic outlook.
