Minus $767 billion in a day: Mag7 shares are close to the biggest drop in more than a yearPapers from the largest U.S. technology companies of the “Magnificent Seven” are close to the largest one-day decline in more than a year. According to Bloomberg estimates, during the selloff on July 23 they together already lost around $767 billion in market value. U.S. markets plunged on Thursday under pressure from sharply devalued shares of Tesla and Alphabet from the Mag7. The day before, both companies published quarterly results that, as Bloomberg writes, cast doubt on the durability of the AI trend—exactly this trend has been driving the stock market forward over the past three years.

Copper, bonds and bitcoin have become puppets of the S&P 500Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone believes copper, U.S. Treasury yields and cryptocurrencies are moving in step with the stock market. Meanwhile, the 50-week average price of BTC has turned downward, as it did in 2022, and the analyst says this could be a warning sign for stocks. According to McGlone, copper, the S&P 500 and bond yields are still rising, but excessively high prices and interest rates may soon bring the rally to a halt. Expensive commodities and credit tend to slow the economy and, in turn, demand for risky assets.
