A correction, however brief, was due. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 surrendered significant ground for the first three quarters of 2022 – their first such losing streak since the financial crisis in 2008.

Paramount Global is 3% higher. Warner Bros. Discovery, under a hot spotlight as it moves ahead as a merged company, gained 4%. Streaming strategy and costs, cord-cutting and consumer pocketbooks are front of mind ahead of earnings set to start later this month amid fears of recession.
Twitter was one stock that bucked today’s uptick, off 3%. The company had rallied on Friday on speculation that it might settle its lawsuit with Elon Musk before the case goes to trial in a few weeks. And shares of Musk’s Tesla shares sank 9%
