Nasdaq, S&P 500 Hit 6-Month Lows As Recession Fears Grow: What's Driving Markets Monday?

U.S. stock futures declined on Monday after a small bout of relief on Friday as indices neared the correction zone. Futures of all four benchmark indices fell in premarket trading.
President Donald Trump, on Sunday, did not rule out the possibility of a recession this year. Acknowledging the potential of short-term turbulence from his economic agenda, he expressed confidence in future prosperity. In a Fox News interview, he said, &#8220;I hate to predict things like that&#8221; and called the changes being brought about by his administration as &#8220;very big.&#8221;
Meanwhile, China responded with retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural goods including its largest import from the U.S. — Soybeans.
Investors will watch out for the inflation data slated to be released this week on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.24%, while the two-year yield was at 3.94%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 97% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Cues From The Last Session
Utilities, information technology, and energy sectors led Friday&#8217;s U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44212927/dow-gains-over-200-points-but-records-weekly-loss-fear-among-investors-eases-but-greed-index-remains-in-extreme-fear-zone">stock gains</a>, pushing the Dow Jones over 200 points higher. However, consumer staples and financials declined, countering the broader market&#8217;s positive trend. 
Despite Friday&#8217;s rally, all major indices recorded weekly losses: the S&amp;P 500 fell 3.1%, its worst week since September, the Dow dropped 2.4%, and the Nasdaq tumbled 3.5%. Last week, Nasdaq 100 entered the correction territory on Friday, falling nearly 10% from its last high, which eased to 9.1% after Friday&#8217;s sessions, whereas the S&amp;P 500 was 6.1% lower from its last record.
Economic data revealed a mixed picture, with February&#8217;s jobs report showing a moderate increase of 151,000 jobs, below expectations, and a surprise rise in the unemployment rate to 4.1%.
In company news, Genesco Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCO#NYSE">GCO</a>) shares plummeted over 16% on disappointing earnings, while American Public Education Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APEI#NASDAQ">APEI</a>) shares surged 22% on strong results.

Insights From Analysts
According to the Yardeni Research&#8217;s QuickTakes by Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein, &#8220;Anything is possible in Trump World.&#8221;
&#8220;We can&#8217;t rule out the possibility that a bear market started on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 rose to a record high. It could be like the &#8216;flash crashes&#8217; that occurred during 1962 and 1987. It could happen quickly and reverse just as quickly. So the selloff could provide buying opportunities, especially in overvalued names that are now less so,&#8221; the note stated.
According to the note, Trump administration&#8217;s rapid-fire policy initiatives are stress-testing the economy, which has been remarkably resilient so far, and raising fears of a recession.
The current bull market, which began in October 2022, has entered its third year. According to Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, it is normal to see some fluctuations in the third year of a bull market.

While the conflict around tariffs has raised the speculation of a slowdown and recession, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates had a contrarian view. According to him, &#8220;The anxiety over tariffs may be holding back some consumers, but I want to assure you that I do not expect most tariffs to be inflationary. As an example, the tariffs that have been imposed on China are expected to be suppressed by Chinese deflation as well as a weak Chinese yuan.&#8221;

Earnings Scheduled For March 10, 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 200 points during the session. However, the index recorded losses last week.
The S&amp;P 500 recorded its worst week since September, falling 3.1% last week. The Dow declined 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 3.5% during the week.
On the economic data front, the February jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released Friday, showed a moderate increase in employment and also a slight increase in the unemployment rate.
The U.S. economy added 151,000 jobs in February, up from a downwardly revised 125,000 in January, but below expectations of 160,000, as tracked by Trading Economics. The unemployment rate ticked unexpectedly higher to 4.1%, above the 4.0% expected.
Genesco Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GCO#NYSE">GCO</a>) shares dipped over 16% on Friday after the company reported worse-than-expected fourth-quarter financial results. American Public Education Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APEI#NASDAQ">APEI</a>) shares surged 22% after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly financial results.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with utilities, information technology and energy stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday. However, consumer staples and financial stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 223 points to 42,801.72 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.55% to 5,770.20, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.70% at 18,196.22 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) and Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 20.5, the index remained in the &#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 17.8.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

"The stock market is moving in lockstep with tariff headlines, and that is likely to keep volatility very elevated for the foreseeable future, as the market does not like uncertainty," said Glen Smith, chief investment officer at GDS Wealth Management, per CNBC.

Nasdaq Falls Into Correction As Tariffs Roil Wall Street: What's Moving Markets Friday?

Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTN#NYSE">MTN</a>) shareholder Late Apex Partners, LLC (LAP) is pushing for a substantial restructuring following its considerable <a target="_blank" href="https://c38f3580-b7de-4014-ba69-5a303368ebc7.usrfiles.com/ugd/c38f35_ab40b5e9f47644b1994c8fae92dec5a6.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">investments in the company</a>.
LAP advocated for immediate steps to resolve what it sees as Vail&#8217;s disappointing performance over the past five years.
LAP argued that the company possesses the finest assets and financial potential, but its performance has been unacceptable.
Late Apex Partners criticized Vail for relying on metrics such as &#8220;Resort Reported EBITDA,&#8221; which they claim do not accurately reflect real value creation. While EBITDA has grown, Vail&#8217;s free cash flow has declined, noted the investor.

Additionally, LAP also flagged the company&#8217;s capital allocation approach as lacking focus, highlighting a $2 billion investment since 2019, yet a drop in free cash flow and worsening customer experiences.
LAP argued that the company&#8217;s high dividend payout, taking up about 90% of free cash flow, has limited its ability to reinvest in the business.
The investor attributes much of the underperformance to the leadership of CEO Eric Lynch and CFO Michael Korch, recommending the replacement of both to address the decline in shareholder value.
The firm also suggested that Chairman Katz should step down to prevent further damage to his legacy. LAP&#8217;s proposed reforms include cutting the dividend by 80%, prioritizing internal reinvestment, and hiring a proven CEO to lead the company&#8217;s turnaround.
If implemented, LAP believes these changes could lead to a $400 per share valuation, offering a 140% increase in equity.
Price Action: MTN shares closed higher by 5.58% at $176.00 on Monday.
