When markets are functioning normally, these instruments receive little attention. However, when the cost of insuring a companys debt defaults begins to rise, it often indicates growing underlying market concerns. This alarm has now been sounded for some of the worlds most prominent technology companies. Since the fall of 2025, the prices of credit default swaps for companies like Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, and Amazon have surged, with some even doubling. This suggests that investors are beginning to question whether the AI boom will ultimately generate sufficient returns to support the industrys massive debt-fueled investments. For example, a technology company might borrow huge sums from banks to expand its data centers; in recent years, such loans have often reached billions of dollars. Banks then purchase CDS from investors or other banks to avoid triggering internal business exposure limits for single clients and to hedge against the risk of the technology company defaulting on the loan. A sharp rise in related indices may indicate widespread market concerns that borrowers have taken on too much debt. A similar situation occurred before the 2008 financial crisis. If demand for artificial intelligence falls short of expectations, or returns on related projects are lower than projected, tech companies may find their debt burdens more difficult to manage. CDS prices are increasingly reflecting this uncertainty.

S&P 500 Gains 4.5% As Traders Bet The Fed Will Raise Rates By 50 Bps In December

As the inflation rate drops to 7.7%, tech stocks rise.


As a result of traders' reactions to the U.S. inflation reports, which showed that the inflation rate decreased from 8.2% in September to 7.7% in October, the S&P 500 is up 4.5%. The heavily tech-focused NASDAQ Composite is up 6%.


Data on inflation gave today's international markets a lot of assistance. Additionally, Fed officials gave stock market-friendly hints that the Fed would scale down rate increases.


The rise is being driven by tech stocks. Amazon and NVIDIA are up 12%. Tesla, Apple, and Microsoft are all up 6%.


As a less aggressive Fed policy would help the entire market, it is not surprising that the rally is widespread and that all market categories are increasing. As traders concentrate on riskier bets, consumer defensive stocks underperform the market.


The Michigan Consumer Sentiment report, which will be the focus of traders tomorrow, is anticipated to reveal a decline in consumer sentiment from 59.9 in October to 59.5 in December. Since today's surge has been so robust, traders will probably need a solid report to keep the recovery going. If Consumer Sentiment falls short of forecasts, traders may seek to lock in some profits before the weekend.


S&P 500 is currently probing the resistance at 3920 after managing to stabilize above the 3900 mark. RSI is still in the moderate range despite the strong rally, so there is still plenty of room for further upward momentum to develop should the proper catalysts materialize.


The S&P 500 will move toward the next resistance level at 3960 if it settles above the 3920 mark. A rise above this point will allow for the testing of the 4000 level resistance. The next resistance level at 4015 will be reached by the S&P 500 if it rises above 4000.


The S&P 500's closest support level is found at 3885 on the support side. The S&P 500 will move toward the next support at 3835 if it drops below this level. The S&P 500 may receive significant support in the 3815–3835 range because the 50 EMA is situated at 3815.
