Is a massive regime change in markets taking place?
This week has again been volatile for stocks. But the big news for investors is for the first time in a few years, bonds are acting again as a hedge against stock market drawdowns. Or in other words: after a period of positive correlation which wrecked 60/40 portfolios, the stock/bond correlation is turning negative again. This is an important development.

$NVDA is down another 3% in the overnight session After the close, the DOJ sent subpoenas to Nvidia and other companies in an escalation of its investigation into possible antitrust law violations by Nvidia.

September is historically the worst month of the year for stocks:
The S&P 500 has fallen -2.3% on average in September over the last 10 years, marking the only month with negative returns. Since World War II, the average September return has been negative, at -0.8%. Moreover, the Volatility Index, $VIX, has seen an average spike of ~10% in September over the last 33 years. Subsequently, in October and November, the S&P 500 has seen a +1.6% and +3.8% rally on average. Markets are entering their most volatile period of the year.
