Archer-Daniels-Midland Co Ranked Among Today’s Best Buyers Amid Evergrande Debt Crisis And Other Market Drivers

The market was expected to end a volatile week with some declines. After the last two sessions saw the indices recover some of their September losses, reality seemed to be setting in again for investors. China continues to be a thorn in the side of positive sentiment thanks to Evergrande and its latest move to deem crypto ‘illegal’. Tech stocks led the declines, namely crypto stocks. Coinbase lost more than 3%, Robinhood lost 2% and Square

SQ
fell 1.6%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin fell 5% while Ether fell 9%. Nike

NKE
also fell 5% thanks to disappointing profits and potential supply chain constraints in Vietnam. The market has rebounded nicely over the past two sessions as the Fed will likely wait a bit longer before tightening monetary policy. But Friday was a reality check. The Dow Jones lost 167 points, the S&P 500 lost 0.5% and the Nasdaq

NDAQ
fell 0.7%. What direction will the market take after the weekend?
