There are two main indicators investors need to watch out for during volatile times, such as today’s S&P 500 path lower. One of them is, of course, keeping track of the underlying developments in the news cycle driving the price action, which today seem to be centered around the trade tariffs being implemented by President Trump on several trading partners with the United States economy.
That one is a bit more complex to understand and follow since public information tends to lag the price action of the entire market. When it comes to price action, that’s the secondary gauge investors can follow more successfully to figure out where sentiment is going or shifting toward. However, not all price action is treated equally in times like these, so investors need to focus on the so-called “darling” names of the market and follow them religiously.
