The Fall From Grace || Goonie Newsletter
Goonie Newsletter (October 13th - 17th)

The Fall From Grace

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -2.43%
  • Nasdaq 100: -2.27%
  • Russel 2000: -4.14%
  • Bitcoin: -7.63%

Last week, the market started off strong, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting new highs as traders piled back into AI and chip names. But by Friday, renewed U.S.–China tariff talk erased those gains, sending the S&P down about 2.4% and the Nasdaq 2.3% for the week. Defensive sectors held up best, while tech and growth stocks took the brunt of the sell-off. It was a brutal reminder that sentiment can flip fast when markets run hot.

With the government shutdown still dragging on, many key reports, like September’s jobs data, stayed offline, leaving traders without their usual macro compass. A few releases trickled through: August trade and credit data, the Fed’s September meeting minutes, and updates on housing, industrial production, and capacity. Friday’s early read on consumer sentiment came in slightly softer, adding to the sense of drift. With little fresh data, investors leaned on earnings chatter and headlines to guide positioning.

Friday was especially rough, with markets tumbling across the board after reports surfaced that the White House was weighing new tariffs on Chinese imports and tightening restrictions on tech exports. The sell-off was broad, megacap tech led declines, Treasury yields spiked, and oil prices slid on global growth worries. The VIX jumped back above 21 for the first time in weeks, signaling a clear return of short-term volatility and risk aversion.

Looking ahead to next week, the focus shifts back to inflation and spending with September’s CPI and retail sales reports due Tuesday, followed by the Fed’s Beige Book and Thursday’s PPI and Philly Fed releases. Big bank earnings also kick off, giving markets something real to trade on again after a week dominated by nerves and noise. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
