Equities desk · Evening edition · Wednesday, September 16, 2026

Fear still sets the tone, and today's slide widened it instead of narrowing it, with breadth falling to zero of eight tracked indices above their 50-day average. J.B. Hunt collapsed 13.30% after warning third-quarter earnings will miss estimates by 5-10% on soft freight demand. Bank of America dropped 2.72% and dragged financials down 1.62% on its own weak Wall Street fee forecast.

Concentration
