S&P 500: This Is Not A Dip Yet (Rating Downgrade)

The Nasdaq 100 faces elevated downside risk from persistent inflation, a potentially more hawkish Fed, and stretched growth valuations. The call is explicitly bearish, with expensive growth and AI-related semiconductor stocks highlighted as most exposed to rising yields and policy uncertainty. This implies a broad market risk-off setup that could pressure the index and rate-sensitive tech leaders.
