What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThis is a BBN special report. Bloomberg says stocks are due a gut check from rising rates, oil strength and a stronger dollar.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBloomberg's angle is that valuations face headwinds, and those three pressures together could trigger a market correction.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHere is where things stand. The Dow closed down point six six percent.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe S and P is down point two two, and Russell is down one point three one.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFutures are barely moving.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentS and P futures are down point oh seven percent, Nasdaq futures down point oh four, and the VIX sits at fifteen oh eight.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAlso new from Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: inflation worries across the region, with Samsung profit gains shaping the outlook for tech stocks.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAs we told you earlier, Samsung's record profit is the AI chip story. Micron is up three point nine percent in the U.S. on it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhat to watch next: the ten-year yield, oil, and the dollar. If any of them jumps, the gut check gets real.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentStrategy is down seven point one percent, bro. Bitcoin stocks are getting the gut check early and taking it personally.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy gut has been checked so many times it has a frequent-flyer card, Kenji.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFutures are flat, so I'm calling it a dip with great abs.
