(New York)

The market seems to have finally regained its footing after a very turbulent couple of weeks. This selloff felt different than any in recent memory and serious damage to the market’s psyche seems to have been done. But what might it say about the wider economy? The answer is little, according to the Wall Street Journal. The selloff will probably be just that, a market fall. In reality, tech companies, which led the losses, reported very solid earnings, with margins expanding very well. Little can be drawn from the results that might show the economy is in trouble.

FINSUM: The only aspect of this selloff we are somewhat worried about is how it might impact consumer confidence and spending this holiday season. However, so long as the market stays strong this month, we expect the impact to fade.
