Global markets are experiencing intense volatility, and while it seemed like a Black Monday for Wall Street was inevitable following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40152271/mohamed-el-erian-grant-cardone-and-matt-weller-warn-of-deepening-global-market-selloff-as-yen-ri">13% overnight tumble of Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225, stock indices</a> are attempting to limit early session losses by midday trading in New York.
The inflection point came after July&#8217;s services sector activity surveys revealed improved conditions from June and a stronger-than-expected expansion, easing fears of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/08/40161832/us-services-activity-returns-to-growth-in-july-global-market-selloff-stalls-are-recession-fears-over">an imminent U.S. recession.</a>
In July, business sentiment in the U.S. services sector returned to expansion, with the ISM Services Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) rising from 48.8% to 51.4%, surpassing expectations of an increase to 51%.
Before the ISM data release, traders speculated on an intra-meeting Fed interest rate cut after Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee stated in a CNBC interview that everything could be on the table.
Following the data, market-implied probabilities for a 50-basis-point rate cut decreased from 100% to about 80%, while the likelihood of a smaller 25-basis-point increase rose from about 0% to 20%, according to the CME Group FedWatch Tool.
After opening over 4% lower at 5,120 points, the S&amp;P 500 slightly trimmed its losses to 5,233 by 12:30 p.m. in New York, marking a smaller 2.1% decline for the day.
Similar movements were observed in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, blue-chip stocks tracked by the Dow Jones and small-cap stocks.
As interest rate probabilities shifted, bonds halted their gains, and Treasury yields rose across all maturities. The 2-year Treasury yield traded 4 basis points higher at 3.92%, after having fallen to as low as 3.65% during early trading hours.
The popular iShares 20+Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) was unchanged, following seven straight sessions of gains. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) initially fell by 15% at 9:30 a.m. in New York, but then rallied by 10% between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., reducing its daily losses to 5.9%.
Commodities traded lower across the board, with gold and oil down 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. Silver plunged nearly 5%, in its worst session in two months.

US Stocks Trim Black Monday's Drops As Services Gauge Expands, Bond Gains Stall As Traders Reassess Fed Cuts: What's Driving Markets?

The stock market is on track to gap-open sharply lower on Monday as negative sentiment seen in the final two sessions of last week has carried over into the new week. The index futures were all sharply lower, with the Nasdaq 100 down over 4% and volatility has spiked, with the CBOE Volatility Index, aka VIX, up over 100%. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40152994/as-global-markets-roil-strategist-soothes-nerves-some-normal-action-under-the-surface-as-tech-got-wa">Asset classes plunged across the board</a> amid worries over a hard landing in the U.S., which in turn may have a cyclical effect on the rest of the global economies as well.
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. (BRK-A) (BRK-B) disclosed that it trimmed its equity portfolio considerably, and instead chose to accumulate cash. This could potentially trigger fears among traders regarding the near-term outlook for the market. His firm sold nearly half of the Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) shares it held in its portfolio. A duo of service sector activity readings may also be in the spotlight.

Cues From Last Session:
Earnings and economic catalysts were the dynamics in play in the market in the week ended Aug. 2, with all three major averages plunging sharply for the week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite turned in the worst performance, with the mega-cap sell-off weighing on the index.
After showing apprehensions early in the week, stocks rose sharply on Wednesday, encouraged by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) positive earnings and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s insinuation of a rate cut in September through the tweaks in the post-meeting policy statement.
Selling set in on Thursday amid the release of weak manufacturing data and the jobless claims report that showed a spike in the number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits. The selling intensified on Friday amid disappointing tech earnings and worries about the health of the economy.
The Nasdaq Composite and the S&amp;P 500 settled at their lowest in about two months, while the Dow slid to a one-month low. Small-caps, which were staging a nice recovery amid expectations of a Fed rate cut, pulled back sharply amid the deterioration in investor sentiment.

Insights From Analysts:
Weighing in on the premarket slump, CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer said investors may have been driven to the wall as they see the prospect of the Tokyo collapse of the 1980s recurring and were reacting to the fear. He also questioned whether SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) was controlling the sentiment toward the Nasdaq stocks with its desperate selling. Softbank&#8217;s Tokyo-listed shares fell over 18%. 
&#8220;Global reset led from Japan,&#8221; he said.
Cramer also recommended investors exercise restraint. &#8220;I do not want to call it over-exaggerated, but it would be more thoughtful if the decline were based on more basics and less emotion,&#8221; he said.
Wedbush&#8217;s Daniel Ives said in a post on X that Japan&#8217;s Nikkei 225 average&#8217;s historical sell-off as &#8220;Yen carry trade unwinds in brutal fashion and global economic/geopolitical jitters will cause a nasty day for US markets and tech stocks.&#8221; 
&#8220;We keep same tech playbook we used during March 2020 Covid sell-offs and other macro panic events last few years,&#8221; he added.
Upcoming Economic Data:
The unfolding week&#8217;s economic calendar is fairly light and noteworthy among them are two separate service sector activity readings and the weekly jobless claims data.
<ul>
<li>On Monday S&amp;P Global is due to release its final service sector purchasing managers&#8217; index for July at 9:45 a.m. EDT, with economists expecting a reading of 55 for the month.</li>
<li>The Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s non-manufacturing report due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to improve from 48.8 in June to 51.4 in July.</li>
<li>The Treasury will auction three- and six-month notes at 11:30 a.m. EDT.</li>
