John Flood, a partner at Goldman Sachs, pointed out that Thursday's dramatic reversal in U.S. stocks underscored that Nvidia's off-balance sheet results did not give traders the expected "risk relief" signal, but instead prompted them to urgently build defenses to avoid further losses.
A strong start to early trading in the US quickly fizzled out on Thursday. The S & P 500 surged 1.9 per cent in the first hour of trading before turning down just before 1pm local time - its biggest intraday move since the market turmoil in April, wiping more than $2 trillion off its peak and closing below its 100-day moving average for the first time in months. The fear gauge VIX jumped above 26.
"The market is now scarred by old wounds," Mr. Fleur wrote in a note to clients. "The market is extremely focused on hedging'crowding risk 'and investors have entered pure profit and loss protection mode." (Jin Ten)
