- Title: S&P dips, just off record as energy shares fall
- Date: 9th August 2021
- Summary: CRANFORD, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES (AUGUST 9, 2021) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) CLEARBRIDGE INVESTMENTS INVESTMENT STRATEGIST, JEFFREY SCHULZE, SAYING: "Well, I think the markets are taking a little bit of a breather from the positive into last week. Obviously, you're seeing the 10-year Treasury rise here a little bit today. And I think that's having an effect on financial markets. But I also think that there's a concern right now with Delta and the shutting down of a lot of the communities, the countries over in Asia right now. There's a little bit of concern on global growth. But here in the U.S., I do think that we're probably reaching peak Delta cases here sometime over this week. If you look to India, you look to the U.K., they saw a peak in a rollover of cases about four to six weeks after the initial peak... the initial rise had happened. And we're rapidly approaching that here in the U.S. So as there's more visibility on Delta, I do think that the markets will start to move higher from here."
