Stocks ended Monday with chunky declines as investors expressed wariness over a series of monetary, technical and seasonal factors. Dow industrials and the S&P 500 had their worst drops since June 16, while the Nasdaq Composite experienced its worst since June 28, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Until recent days, the benchmark S&P 500 had been rallying sharply off its mid-June low, partly on hopes that indications of peak inflation would allow the Fed to slow the pace of interest rate rises and even pivot to a dovish trajectory next year.

However, that assumption was challenged last week by a succession of Fed officials who appeared to warn traders about embracing a less hawkish monetary policy narrative. Central bankers will gather this week at their annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is expected to deliver a highly anticipated speech on the economic outlook.

“Markets have been too complacent to the outstanding risks to the macroeconomic environment,” said Michael Reynolds, vice president of investment strategy at Glenmede, which oversees $45 billion in assets from Philadelphia. “We see the risk of recession at 50%, maybe higher than that, in the next 12 months. Based on where we sit, the market looks a little overheated at these valuations and we continue to be underweight equities.”

“The risk to earnings is what matters most to investors and there’s downside risk here for markets,” Reynolds said via phone on Monday.

Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday will be a “double-edged sword” for markets, by giving traders and investors more certainty on the path of rates along with the need to adjust their expectations, according to Reynolds. “Markets are underestimating how much the Fed needs to tighten and how high rates need to stay to bring inflation back under control. The market needs to come to terms with how hard the Fed needs to tighten here. Part of what we’re expecting from Jackson Hole is for Powell to come out pretty strong and say that the Fed will tighten even if it risks a recession. It’s a sobering message that could lead to further risk-off moves.”

Falling bond yields earlier this summer had helped support equities in their recent rally. But after dropping below 2.6% at the start of August, the 10-year yield

moved above 3% again on Monday.

Another issue worrying the bulls is the S&P 500’s failure to break through a key technical level, raising fears the market remains in a downtrend. The large-cap index had its second consecutive loss of 1% or more on Monday, the longest such streak since the four trading days that ended on June 13, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

“We’re seeing fears of the Federal Reserve acting aggressively or continuing to act aggressively in hike interest rates drag stocks lower,” said Fiona Cincotta, senior financial markets analyst at City Index in London. “The market is having this realization that the Fed is unlikely to have a dovish pivot anytime soon, even though there was a softer inflation reading a couple of weeks ago.”

“Powell’s speech is going to be the key event this week, but the market is not really expecting a dovish pivot anymore from the Fed, which is why we see equities under pressure and the dollar rallying,” she said via phone. Now that the S&P 500 has fallen below 4,180, this opens the door for the index to keep falling to 4,100 or 3,970, according to Cincotta.
