Midday Brief
Jun 23 · 12:00 PM EDT
Markets are showing clear signs of fear with major indices down and volatility spiking, while defensive sectors like Consumer Staples, Real Estate, and Utilities provide some support amid a broad tech selloff where Apple stands out as a rare exception. The surge in volatility alongside rising yields and a stronger dollar underscores investor caution ahead of key earnings.
