The Biggest Threats This Week as Credit Suisse Falls on Failure Rumors

by | Oct 3, 2022 | Market Updates

The broader indexes are up as Wall Street looks to recover from a rough September — and more in Monday’s stock market recap.

The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow all closed out a losing month and quarter on Friday, making it the third straight losing quarter for all three indexes.

In other news, global investment bank Credit Suisse is down as much as 11% on concerns over its financial health and rumors of a potential bank failure.

According to the Financial Times, the bank’s executives have reached out to reassure major investors. Other reports citing a memo from Chief Executive Ulrich Koerner suggest the bank is also looking to raise capital.

As I’ve been saying for several weeks, the global economy is causing U.S. stocks to go down more than the American economy itself, and this is something we need to keep an eye on.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss the biggest threats in the markets this week… three top sectors to focus on right now… why the bond market may be done trading lower in the near term… which index is leading and why… earnings to watch for the week… plus an update on key momentum levels and what to expect from markets this week.

But this is unavoidable.

Just the other day, when Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell committed to hiking interest rates again, and again… Something scary happened in the housing market…

Mortgage rates jumped to new highs — even higher than before the Great Recession.

  • 30-year fixed: 7.479%.
  • 30-year fixed FHA: 6.917%.
  • 30-year fixed VA: 7.352%.

Now, for those who own a home, you might wonder what this has to do with you…

The answer is everything… Your retirement plans… Your nest egg… Your kids’ and grandkids’ futures…
