single-day change vs previous close
Part of a longer stretch
The 2021–22 tech bear market
midway through · 2021-11-19 → 2022-12-28, -36.40% over the whole period
What happened that day?
- On 13 June 2022 the Nasdaq fell 4.68%
- With May inflation at a forty-year high, a three-step Fed move became the base case
- A change in the rate outlook moves the Nasdaq more, because its profits sit far out and the rate weighs heavily in the arithmetic
- Around this time two-year Treasury yields also rose above ten-year yields, commonly read as a recession signal
- Beating inflation means slowing the economy, and a slower economy means smaller profits. Either way it works against share prices
- The Nasdaq finished the year down more than a third
- In this stretch the index was 29.4% below its peak
