This was a bad session for equity markets yesterday. Investors were still reeling from Jerome Powell’s speech on Wednesday and took a beating from Christine Lagarde on Thursday. The pro-bounce scenario for stocks that had begun to take shape in recent weeks is unraveling as recession fears mount. It's not the best of entries for this last session of the week, which coincides with the "day of the four witches", when several derivative deadlines telescope.
