John Authors argues the current market correction is driven by two main factors: a shift in Fed expectations towards a potential hike (though he questions its necessity) and the upcoming SpaceX IPO. He sees the selloff as a correction, not a bear market, with room to fall. He also notes the US exceptionalism trade may persist due to strong employment data.

Timothy Moe views the 8% circuit breaker in Korea as a technical correction in a long-term bull market. He emphasizes strong underlying fundamentals (220% profit growth this year) and cheap valuations (sub-7x earnings). He sees the AI story as just beginning and profitable, and expects the market to regain its footing after the shakeout.
