The S&P 500 and other major equity indices sold off on Wednesday as fears centered on U.S. government debt rose to a boil. The increase in fear was triggered by a budget standoff that could leave the U.S. debt level at unmanageable levels. The yield on the 10-year treasury rose in response as investors reduced their exposure, and it could continue to climb in the coming weeks. The risk for the market is that President Trumpâs activity-spurring agenda will be stalled before it can gain traction.
Thursdayâs action will be telling. The sell-off will likely gain momentum if the S&P cannot quickly regain its footing. In that scenario, the index could retreat to retest support near 5,800 and 5,700, and a deeper decline is possible. Without a positive catalyst to reinvigorate buyers, the S&P could fall as far as 5,350 or lower and move to retest the April lows is possible. The next visible market catalyst is the PCE price index, which is scheduled for release next Friday.

DocuSign Bear Case
Recent insider selling, including significant transactions by the CFO and another insider, may raise concerns about the companyâs short-term outlook and could signal a lack of confidence in its immediate performance.
Despite strong institutional support, the overall market volatility can impact stock performance, and DocuSign may be susceptible to broader economic fluctuations.
Competition in the electronic signature and document management space is intensifying, with new entrants and existing players continuously innovating, which could pressure DocuSignâs market share.
The companyâs reliance on digital self-service purchasing may limit its ability to build deeper relationships with clients, potentially affecting long-term customer loyalty and retention.
