The stock market, and particularly technology stocks, have been quite tumultuous as of late. The flagship NASDAQ-100 index is down by 2.6% over the past month. Similarly, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ Composite are down by 2.14% and 4.4%, respectively. Amidst this turmoil, Chris Harvey of CIBC sat down with CNBC to discuss the current stock market environment. Starting off with the SpaceX IPO, he discussed other factors affecting the market:
“It performed well, people made money on it. They’re taking profits. We have a little bit of a choppy market. Last week, Warsh comes in. And he comes in pretty hot. That unsettles the market. And so, stocks trade. And that’s what happening. If you look at the IPO market, if you look at tech, what’s working, it’s momentum. And we’re still in a momentum market. And if you don’t have positive price momentum, then it’s very difficult.”
