Markets Stage Dramatic Comeback After Early Plunge
After one of the most volatile sessions in weeks, U.S. markets swung sharply from deep losses to a surprising late-day recovery. At one point, major indexes were down nearly 7%, only to claw their way back into positive territory by the closing bell, finishing around +0.25%.
The wild intraday action reflected growing investor anxiety over tech valuations, economic uncertainty, and the ongoing government shutdown, combined with late-day optimism and strong dip-buying activity.

Morning Selloff: AI and Tech Valuation Fears Trigger Sharp Decline
The trading day opened with heavy selling pressure, especially across the high-growth AI and semiconductor sectors, as analysts warned that valuations had become stretched following months of relentless gains.
According to Reuters and Business Insider, renewed scrutiny over artificial intelligence stock valuations — and worries that expectations may have run ahead of reality — sparked the morning downturn. Major names in the tech sector saw sharp declines as traders rotated out of speculative positions and into safer assets.
Adding to the anxiety were weaker labor market signals and soft consumer sentiment data, which raised concerns about the broader economy’s strength heading into the winter months.

Economic and Political Jitters Deepen Uncertainty
The U.S. government shutdown, which has delayed key economic reports, also weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The absence of reliable data has made it difficult for traders to gauge the true health of the economy, leading to wider swings and higher volatility.
Meanwhile, layoffs in the private sector and slower hiring trends added to fears that the economy may be cooling faster than expected.

Late-Day Turnaround: Dip Buyers Step In
By mid-afternoon, market tone began to shift as dip buyers stepped in to take advantage of discounted share prices. Traders viewed the deep selloff as an overreaction, especially given that corporate earnings overall have remained relatively strong.
Optimism also grew that a resolution to the government shutdown might be nearing, further supporting the rebound. By the closing bell, the major indexes erased nearly all their losses — an impressive reversal after one of the sharpest early selloffs in recent weeks.

Hardy Market Chats Analysis
Today’s session highlights a market in transition — torn between valuation fatigue and long-term optimism. While economic clouds remain, strong liquidity and institutional “buy-the-dip” behavior continue to support resilience in U.S. equities.
However, traders should stay cautious. If weakness in the labor market deepens or earnings guidance softens, another round of volatility could be just around the corner.
