Stock Market Correction Warning: Did Tech Sector Divergence Just Throw Up a Red Flag for Investors?
The U.S. stock market is still sitting near all-time highs… but beneath the surface, some cracks may be forming. In a recent Market on Close discussion, hosts John Rowland and 'Twitter Tom' debated whether we're on the verge of a pullback, or if the rally still has legs. Here's what they're seeing in the data: More News from Barchart Options Traders Price in Volatile Nvidia Earnings Reaction After U.S. Government Deal on AI Chips Shopify's Higher FCF Margins Can Push SHOP Stock Higher Option Volatility And Earnings Report For Aug 11 - 15 Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. 1. Sector Momentum is Flashing Divergence The S&P 500 Tech Sector ETF (XLK) Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above 60, signaling strong momentum. On the other hand, the S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) RSI is moving lower, beneath 50, suggesting broader market participation is more subdued. Historically, this setup has appeared six times since 2006. In five of those cases, the market saw a 10% or greater correction shortly after. 2. A Contrarian Take Tom sees the widespread expectation of an August pullback as a reason to be cautious about betting against the market. If 'everyone' is bracing for a drop, markets sometimes do the opposite. John, however, leans on the historical data — which currently tilts toward a downside move — and says this divergence between tech leadership and equal-weight performance shouldn't be ignored. 3. Options Traders Are Getting Bearish The put/call ratio on the SPY ETF is climbing, meaning more traders are buying puts (bearish bets) than calls. For this week's monthly August options expiration, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) put/call ratio is above 4.0 — meaning there are four times as many puts in open interest as calls. That's a rare level of bearish positioning and can sometimes precede sharp moves. What's at Stake? Some analysts point to valuation extremes that now surpass the late-90s tech boom. Others note macro risks — tariffs, stagflation concerns, and global uncertainty — that could act as catalysts for a correction. But for now, the market is balancing two narratives: The Bear Case: Overbought tech, narrowing breadth, and rising bearish options positioning could trigger a correction. The Bull Case: Strong large-cap leadership, resilient earnings, and contrarian sentiment might keep the rally alive. Watch the reel to see John and Tom argue their cases: Then, check out the full episode of Market on Close to see what they're watching next.

Core inflation jumps as consumers face higher prices as Trump's tariffs start to take effect
Inflation rose largely with expectations in July according to the Consumer Price Index report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Consumer Price Index showed that inflation increased by 0.2 percent in the past month and in the past 12 months, it increased by 2.7 percent. But core CPI, which measures inflation all items except for food and energy, rose by 0.3 percent and by 3.1 percent. The number comes as President Donald Trump's tariffs begin to take effect, though on Monday, he announced another 90-day pause on tariffs against China as negotiations continue. Last week, most of the president's tariffs took effect after Trump paused them in April after the stock market tumbled and the Treasury bond market spiked. The number for July represents the final month before Americans would begin to see prices spike for everything from Irish Whiskey to Toyotas made in Japan to Brazilian coffee. While the index for food did not change at all while the index for energy dropped by 1.1 percent last month, with the index for gasoline dropping 2.2 percent. But an increase in the shelter index by 0.2 percent offset those drops. The index for rent rose by 0.3 percent, as did the index for owners' equivalent of rent. The July CPI report is also the first report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics since Trump fired the chief labor statistician after a poor jobs report that showed the economy added only 73,000 jobs in July and significantly revised down the number of jobs added in May and June. On Monday, Trump announced that he had nominated economist D.J. Antoni, the chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Antoni served as a contributor to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 roadmap that the Trump administration has largely followed to guide his second presidency.

Ansys Announces Agreement to Offer Access to NVIDIA Omniverse Technology from within Simulation Solutions
Integration of Omniverse into Ansys applications offers a seamless solution for embedding, distributing, and supporting Omniverse technologies through global network of thousands of direct sellers and channel partners Key Highlights Ansys integrates NVIDIA Omniverse capabilities directly into its products, starting with autonomy and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions, delivering simplified data preparation, interoperability, and access to the Omniverse ecosystem The agreement accelerates physical AI development, enhances digital twin capabilities, and delivers immersive visualizations in a virtual environment, accelerating innovation across industries PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ansys, part of Synopsys (NASDAQ: SNPS) and NVIDIA signed an agreement to license, sell, and support Omniverse technology embedded in Ansys simulation solutions. Through its integration of NVIDIA Omniverse™, Ansys will deliver easy access to Omniverse technologies and libraries to customers, starting with its CFD and autonomous solutions. From deepening insights into aerodynamics to advancing autonomous vehicle safety and 6G connectivity, this collaboration fuels progress that empowers transformative solutions. Ansys technology utilizes Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) to integrate seamlessly with Omniverse technologies, enabling accessible, smooth workflows across diverse simulation applications. By leveraging Omniverse platform capabilities directly from the Ansys interface, teams are empowered to innovate faster, tackle challenges head-on, and achieve research breakthroughs. The agreement ensures seamless interoperability between diverse computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools, enabling a unified and efficient workflow — critical to large CFD applications. Visualizing fluid dynamics in physically based digital environments enables engineers to analyze complex datasets more intuitively, resulting in smarter, faster design optimization for even the most challenging engineering tasks. In addition, the integration empowers engineers with high-fidelity outputs, making it easier to develop, train, test, and validate autonomous systems with greater speed and confidence. By automating scenario generation and exploration, it ensures these autonomous systems are continuously validated for safety, precision, efficiency, and reliability. "Product development processes are only getting more complex, so modern teams need a virtual environment that allows them to simulate, visualize, iterate, and collaborate," said Walt Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer excellence at Synopsys. "By integrating advanced Omniverse technologies and libraries, our customers drive innovation in simulation-led workflows, empowering teams to achieve greater efficiency, performance, and scalability." Moreover, PyAnsys, a family of Python packages, enables users to customize and automate simulations within their own applications built on NVIDIA Omniverse. One illustrative example highlighting this joint work with NVIDIA is PyAnsys-Heart, a digital twin of the human heart that unlocks transformative simulation insights through an intuitive speech-to-text interface requiring minimal engineering expertise. "To address the complexity of modern engineering challenges, industries require precise physical AI models, highly accurate digital twins, accessible high-resolution simulation tools, and physics-accurate virtual environments to solve real-world problems and enable reliable performance predictions," said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation at NVIDIA. "Combining the predictive power of Ansys solvers with NVIDIA simulation technologies and libraries is a turning point for industries striving to simulate reality with precision."
