U.S. S&P 500 Index Falls Below 125-Day Moving Average

On Thursday, the S&P 500 index dropped below its 125-day moving average. The lackluster close of last week’s stock market session raised concerns among Wall Street analysts about the outlook for leading stocks and major U.S. indices.

Last week, the U.S. stock market mostly traded lower amid renewed tariff threats from the Trump administration.
Trade tensions between the U.S. and China returned to the spotlight after Trump confirmed that relations with Beijing remain strained.

The prospect of a trade war heightened global market uncertainty, leading to declines in technology and semiconductor stocks.

As a result, investment flows shifted toward precious metals, driving a sharp rise in gold and silver prices.
Regarding Bitcoin, despite its decline this week, the coin reached a new all-time high of $126,000 in October.
As of the evening of October 16, the leading cryptocurrency traded around $108,000, with weekly losses exceeding 10%.

Morgan Stanley analysts led by Mike Wilson warned that the S&P 500 could face a deeper correction if U.S.–China tensions fail to ease soon.

Following the U.S. decision last week to impose additional 100% tariffs on Chinese goods, Apple and Nvidia shares — both deeply intertwined with the two economies — fell in price.
Both companies are key components of the S&P 500 index.
