Remove all water from the Reflecting Pool. Replace with rich soil, and turn it into the new Jaqueline Kennedy Rose Garden, complete with Walkways for close-up viewing, and a center walkway that leads all the way to the Lincoln Memorial, to replace the pool destroyed by Trump.
$SPY crashed 2% but this actually triggers a bigger 10%-20% sell off.
Korean stock market crashed 12% already.
There's 8 reasons why $SPY has to pull back:
1. $BA just dropped a hawkish bomb
BofA now expects the Fed to hike rates 3x in 2026 (75bps total), reversing their own call from last week. Sticky inflation + strong jobs data is the reason. Market was only pricing in 1 hike this is a major repricing of risk.
Tickers: $NBIS $WYFI $AMKR $AAOI $APLD $AMD $AAPL
2. KOSPI just got demolished overnight
Korea's KOSPI crashed ~10% after SK Hynix signaled it's slowing HBM4 expansion to shift capacity toward higher-margin conventional DRAM. Market read this as AI memory demand cooling, even though SK Hynix's 2026 HBM supply was already sold out.
Tickers: $SNDK $WDC $STX $MU
3. Leverage in Korea is unwinding fast
Korean retail margin debt hit record levels (~$39-40B) chasing the AI rally. When SK Hynix/Samsung cracked, leveraged accounts got force-sold, amplifying the KOSPI crash and spilling into global risk sentiment.
Tickers: $NOW $PLTR $HOOD $SOFI $TE $KEEL
4. Kevin Warsh's first meeting = hawkish surprise
New Fed Chair Warsh held rates steady but struck a notably hawkish tone, with 9 of 18 FOMC members now penciling in a 2026 hike. Markets expected a dovish honeymoon got the opposite.
Tickers: $AMZN $IBM $BE $NBIS $TSLA
5. The AI spending math is being questioned
Nasdaq 100 futures dropped ~2.5%+ Tuesday as investors grew nervous about debt-funded AI capex actually generating returns. Higher yields make that spending more expensive, hitting mega-cap tech hardest.
Tickers: $NVDA, $AVGO $INTC $ORCL $MU
6. SpaceX lockup overhang is weighing on sentiment
$SPCX has slid ~24% over 3 sessions post-IPO as investors price in upcoming insider share unlocks (20% after August earnings, more later). No insiders have sold yet โ it's the anticipation of future supply hitting the float.
Tickers: $SPCX, $SATS, $ASTS, $IONQ, $RKLB
7. The largest quarter-end rebalance in 4+ years
JPMorgan estimates institutions could sell up to $165B in equities and rotate into bonds by June 30 โ the biggest such flow since at least 2022. GPIF (~$60B), Norges Bank (~$40B), US pensions (~$55B), and the SNB (~$25B) are the major sellers.
Tickers: $QQQ $MSFT $META $GOOG $AMD
8. Treasury yields are climbing on the hawkish repricing
The 10-year is sitting near 4.51% as markets price in fewer cuts / more hikes. Higher yields compress valuations across growth and rate-sensitive sectors simultaneously.
Tickers: $DRAM $GRID $AIS $VOO $TLT
$SPY will test 50SMA at $730. I'd wait to buy dips, BUT for sure we are adding cheap stocks.
