- If a Recession Is Coming, History Says Utilities Aren't Safe, Just "Less Bad." Here's the Data.
The article notes that although the strict recession definition (two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth) has not been met this year, investors often turn to defensive sectors such as utilities. Using the State Street Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) as a benchmark across four recessions since its launch, it finds utilities fell less than the broader market but were not safe: during the tech bubble bust (2000–02), the ETF slid 34.3% versus 42.4% for the S&P 500. During the global financial crisis (2007–09), it lost 42.5% versus nearly 56% for the S&P 500. In 2020, the ETF gained just 0.6% while the S&P 500 rose 18.4%; in 2022, the ETF gained 1.4% as the S&P 500 fell 18.2%. The author concludes the most reasonable expectation for utilities in a severe downturn is to perform 'less bad'.

- Why Micron Stock Keeps Going Down
Micron shares have fallen nearly 30% over the last six trading days, though they remain up more than threefold over 52 weeks, and Sandisk fell another 13% in the same session. Many investors blame China's CXMT, which is developing a new “4F square” memory chip to market as HBM and reports $1 billion in customer prepayments for its DRAM chips, a 15.7-fold increase from the end of 2025, according to DigiTimes. The article notes Micron is the world's third-largest DRAM supplier and CXMT is fourth, but CXMT lags far behind in HBM, where SK Hynix holds at least a 50% share and CXMT's next-generation HBM3E yields are only 20% to 30%.

- SPY support levels: three key floors to watch
SPY is trading at $746.84, down 2.60%, as of 10:38 AM EST on Nov 5, 2026, after an intraday low of $744.81. The article identifies three support zones: $744.80–$746.30 (immediate), $736.80–$741.50 (secondary), and $729.10–$730.22 (major, including the July 29 swing low and the daily 200-day SMA). Daily momentum is bearish, with RSI at 38.82, MACD histogram at -1.86, and a daily gauge reading of Strong Sell, but RSI is not yet below 30, so downside momentum is not deeply oversold. The weekly picture is less damaged, with weekly RSI at 49.41 and the weekly S1 at $746.27 near the current price, a possible but unconfirmed stabilization zone. A break below $744.80 would shift focus to $736.80–$741.50, and a move below $729.10 would damage the longer-term trend.
