The stock market may be on the brink of a significant correction, according to a leading market expert. Craig Johnson, the chief market technician at Piper Sandler, has issued a warning about the future of the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; stocks.
What Happened: Johnson, in a recent appearance on CNBC&#8217;s Last Call, raised concerns about the future of the Magnificent Seven companies, which includes Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Meta Platforms Inc.

Johnson highlighted concerning patterns in the stock charts, including lower highs in Nvidia and a gap down in Apple and Microsoft. &#8220;These charts are rolling over, and they need to correct further,&#8221; he said.
He also expressed skepticism about the potential for small-cap stocks to continue outperforming large-cap stocks, a trend seen in 1984, 2002, and 2003.

Why It Matters: Johnson&#8217;s warning comes amid a series of events that have raised concerns about the stability of the stock market. In June, he pointed out several &#8220;warning flags&#8221; in the market, suggesting a potential market pullback, despite the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39365183/warning-flags-expert-says-nvidia-in-bubble-ish-territory-points-to-potential-market-pullback">historic performance</a> of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust‘s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) in 2024.
Meanwhile, Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, has predicted a potential shift in the equity market, favoring small-cap stocks over large-cap tech companies due to the current &#8220;restrictive&#8221; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39830547/why-cathie-wood-is-betting-on-small-cap-stocks-triumphing-over-magnificent-six-amid-restrictive-">monetary policy</a> of the Federal Reserve.
On the other hand, Nvidia and other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39816230/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-amd-and-semiconductor-peer-stocks-on-wednesday">semiconductor stocks</a> have been affected by the U.S.&#8217;s intensified semiconductor sanctions against China, raising concerns about the future of the tech industry.
Small-cap stocks have been on a remarkable streak. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) surged over 1.9% this week, driven by speculation about rate cuts following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39797464/small-caps-are-having-a-moment-russell-2000-notches-best-5-day-rally-in-over-4-year">lower-than-expected June inflation data</a>.

Nvidia, Apple, And Microsoft May Face Potential Correction, Warns Expert, Points At Concerning Chart Patterns For 'Magnificent Seven' Stocks

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has revealed its upcoming Pixel 9 flagship smartphones before they can be leaked yet again. This time around, the search giant also has a foldable phone in the mix.
What Happened: Google has officially introduced the Pixel 9 Pro, following a string of hands-on videos and comparisons with other recent phones.
Google plans to reveal more about the Pixel 9 lineup, along with its other forthcoming devices, at an event scheduled at Google&#8217;s California headquarters on August 13.
In a promotional video, Google offered a brief preview of the Pixel 9 Pro, suggesting that AI and Gemini would be key features of the device. Google&#8217;s online store has already begun accepting sign-ups for information about the Pixel 9 Pro and has posted another image of the phone.

Just hours after the Pixel 9 Pro&#8217;s reveal, Google also showcased the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This move ended speculation about the look and name of Google&#8217;s next foldable Android phone.
Recent regulatory filings and leaks indicate that Google is preparing to launch four phones soon: the Pixel 9, the Pixel 9 Pro, the Pixel 9 Pro XL, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Why It Matters: Google's Pixel phones have usually been leaked in detail in the run-up to the eventual launch. Earlier this year, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36754152/goodbye-curves-first-google-pixel-9-leak-reveals-an-iphone-inspired-frame-design">leak revealed</a> that the company is working on an iPhone-inspired frame design, marking a departure from the traditional design of Google&#8217;s Pixel series.
The early unveiling of these devices indicates Google&#8217;s strategy to control the narrative around its products, despite the leaks.
Google's Gemini AI will be a significant part of the company's Pixel 9 lineup, as evidenced by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38826439/at-google-io-2024-sundar-pichai-and-team-announces-new-gemini-models-project-astra-ai-fraud-protecti">announcements at its developer conference</a>, Google I/O, in May.

Travelers Companies Earnings Are Imminent; These Most Accurate Analysts Revise Forecasts Ahead Of Earnings Call

Former President Donald Trump slammed Joe Biden&#8217;s push for electrifying road transport on Thursday, the fourth and final night of the Republic National Convention in Milwaukee.
What Happened: &#8220;I will end the electric vehicle mandate on day one, thereby saving the auto industry from complete obliteration which is happening right now and saving US customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car,&#8221; Trump told the crowd gathered at Fiserv Forum. 
The mandate Trump is referring to is the Biden administration&#8217;s aim to ensure that a majority of new passenger cars and light trucks sold in the United States are all-electric or hybrids by 2032.
Call For Union President Resignation: Trump further called for the resignation of the United Auto Workers union chief Shawn Fain for what he alleged was allowing foreign EV makers to sell EVs in the country without tariffs by building factories in Mexico. 
Trump is seemingly referring to Chinese EV maker BYD&#8217;s upcoming factory in Mexico, which has been deemed by some automakers as a way to push lower-priced EVs into the U.S. market while simultaneously evading tariffs imposed on China-made EVs. BYD, however, has often reiterated that they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37327343/tesla-a-partner-and-not-competition-says-byd-chinese-firm-not-eyeing-us-market-just-yet">do not intend to enter the U.S. market</a>.
&#8220;United Auto Workers should be ashamed for allowing this to happen and the leader of the UAW should be fired immediately,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Every single auto worker, union and nonunion, should be voting for Donald Trump because we are going to bring back car manufacturing and we are going to bring it back fast.&#8221;
UAW <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36771258/joe-biden-gets-united-auto-workers-backing-shawn-fain-says-donald-trump-blamed-the-american-worker">endorsed Joe Biden </a>for the forthcoming November election in January. 
Tariffs On Foreign Players: Trump added that foreign players must build plants in America and their vehicles should be built by American workers if they are to be sold in the country.
&#8220;If they don&#8217;t agree with us we&#8217;ll put a tariff of approximately 100% to 200% on each car and they will be unsellable in the United States. We have long been taken advantage of by other countries,&#8221; Trump said. Enforcing foreign players to build in America will also create a massive number of jobs in the country, he added.
The Biden administration has already imposed a tariff of over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39006664/elon-musk-slams-biden-administration-over-100-tariffs-on-chinese-ev-imports-things-that-distort-the">100% on electric vehicles made in China.</a>
But &#8220;I&#8217;m All For Electric&#8221;: &#8220;By the way, I&#8217;m all for electric; they have their application but if somebody wants to buy a gas-powered car, gasoline-powered car, or a hybrid they&#8217;re going to be able to do it and we&#8217;re going to make that change on day one,&#8221; Trump said while also slamming Biden administration for investing highly in putting up EV charging infrastructure. 
&#8220;AI needs tremendous- literally twice the electricity that&#8217;s available now in our country- but instead we&#8217;re spending in places where they recharge electric cars,&#8221; Trump said while also mentioning a report from The Washington Post which said that the government's $7.5 billion capital allocation to help&nbsp;build EV charging stations&nbsp;across the country resulted in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38778728/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-criticizes-biden-administrations-spending-efficiency-on-ev-charging-infrastructu">only seven operational ones as of March</a>.
U.S. EV giant Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk has previously talked about sharing a good relationship with Trump and slammed Biden over his age. Musk has been publicly endorsing Trump&#8217;s presidential reelection bid since Saturday after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39764903/fbi-probes-trump-rally-shooting-as-potential-domestic-terrorism-it-appears-that-he-was-a-lone-actor">shooting incident </a>at Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Reported Earlier, VSAC Successfully Applies To Nasdaq Stock Exchange To Migrate To The Capital Market

President Joe Biden appears to be facing an uphill battle, going by the results of a couple of new polls released this week. The results reflected responses collected amid and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/07/39840178/kevin-oleary-says-the-assassination-attempt-on-trump-is-un-american-comments-on-musk-and-ackman-supp">after the assassination attempt </a>on former President Donald Trump.
Tide Turns Definitively? Trump increased his lead over Biden with the latest tally standing at 52%-47% in the former&#8217;s favor, better than the 50%-48% results for the former president in the July 3 poll. The results are based on a CBS News/YouGov survey, which collected responses from 2,247 registered voters nationwide between July 16-18. The margin of error of the survey was +/-2.7 points.
This five-point lead would be his largest national lead over Biden in the campaign so far, the pollster said. &#8220;It&#8217;s been 20 years since a Republican presidential candidate has won the national popular vote, and over 30 years since a Republican won by more than five,&#8221; CBS News&#8217; report said.
In the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Trump was ahead but with a three-point lead, scoring 51% as opposed to the 47% support Biden received. This marks a one-point move toward Trump from early July.
The above two standings were based on responses from likely voters, which is a subset of the registered voters surveyed. 
Two-thirds of the registered voters said Trump&#8217;s handling of the July 13 assassination attempt has not changed their consideration, while 26% said it has made them more likely to consider the former president. 7% said it has made them less likely to consider him. A little over half of the respondents (54%) said after the assassination, Trump has encouraged more unity, while 46% said he has encouraged more division.
When voters were asked which of the candidates fights a lot for people like them, 37% picked Trump, 28% Biden and 26% each chose Vice President Kamala Harris and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio). Harris and Vance are currently picked as the running mates of Biden and Trump, respectively.

Harris Better Choice? In the hypothetical matchup with Trump, Harris performed better than Biden but still lagged behind the former president. The results showed Trump leading with 51% compared to 48% in favor of Harris. The pollster stated that there are minimal differences in support for Harris and Biden among demographic groups, including younger voters and voters of color.
A substantial part of Democrats said Biden should step aside as nominee. 
A separate AP-NORC <a href="https://apnorc.org/projects/most-say-biden-should-withdraw-from-the-presidential-race/">poll</a> showed that 7 in 10 adults, including 65% of Democrats, said Biden should withdraw and allow his party to select a different nominee. The survey was conducted between July 11-15 and was mostly completed before the attempted assassination of Trump. Only 35% of the Democrats want him to stay in the race.
On the other hand, 57% of adults want Trump to withdraw from the race and allow his party to name a replacement. An overwhelming 73% of Republicans, however, said he should stay in the race.
Doubts about Biden's mental capability to be an effective president despite more people viewing him as more honest than Trump.
Biden finds staunch support from Black Democrats but more younger Democrats (sub-45 years) want him to quit the race.
The poll found that 36% of the public, including 58% of Democrats and 20% of independents, think Harris would make a good president.
The percentage of Democrats who do not think Harris would make a good replacement was 20%, while 20% do not know enough to comment. Among independents, 39% said they do not think she would make a good president and 40% do not know enough to have an opinion.
Among Republicans, 87% say Harris would not make a good president.
AP-NORC survey showed that most have not developed opinions about either California Governor Gavin Newsom or Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, both of whom have been mentioned as possible replacements for Biden.&nbsp;
The CBS News/YouGov survey showed that Democrats continue to trail Republicans on the likelihood of turning out for election this year.

Biden Vs. Trump: Ex-President Takes Commanding National Lead As Democratic Support For Incumbent Crumbles

Heath Deneke, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board, commented, &quot;I would like to thank all of our unitholders for their strong support for Summit&#39;s conversion to a C-corporation. This transaction will deliver significant benefits by reducing unitholders&#39; tax burden going forward, simplifying Summit&#39;s structure to make its equity easier to own, enhancing trading liquidity and providing greater transparency and easier decision-making for investors. In addition to the conversion, the notes offering we announced yesterday and expected upsizing of our ABL credit facility from&nbsp;$400 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$500 million&nbsp;increases Summit&#39;s financial flexibility to execute our strategy relative to our existing capital structure. Through the C-corporation conversion, expected refinancing, active portfolio management and steps to strengthen Summit&#39;s financial profile, we have positioned Summit for continued growth and success. We look forward to completing this set of transactions and driving value creation for our investors.&quot;

&quot;We are closely monitoring the recently proposed interpretive ruling from the CFPB around paycheck advance and earned wage access (&quot;EWA&quot;), a model which Dave was originally founded on, but transitioned away from beginning in 2022 due to a lack of certainty around the regulations,&quot; said Jason Wilk, Founder and CEO of Dave. &quot;Dave&#39;s ExtraCash product is structured as a bank-originated overdraft with optional fees, which combats the excessive fees found at incumbent banks. As a result, we believe ExtraCash and our optional fees sit within the overdraft regulatory framework that is distinguished from EWA and paycheck advance products.&quot;

A widespread Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) cloud service disruption on Thursday led to the grounding and cancellation of flights for several airlines, including Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULCC#NASDAQ">ULCC</a>), Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>), and Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNCY#NASDAQ">SNCY</a>).
What Happened: Microsoft reported issues with its cloud services in the Central U.S. region, which significantly impacted the operations of several airlines, Reuters reported on Friday. 
The low-cost carriers, including Frontier Airlines, Allegiant, and Sun Country, experienced outages that affected their day-to-day operations.
Frontier Airlines confirmed that a &#8220;major Microsoft technical outage&#8221; had temporarily disrupted its operations. On the other hand, Sun Country pointed to a third-party vendor that affected its booking and check-in facilities, without naming the company. Allegiant&#8217;s website was also affected, leading to its unavailability.
As a result, Frontier Airlines had to cancel 147 flights and delay 212 others on Thursday. Allegiant and Sun Country also experienced significant disruptions, with 45% and 23% of their flights delayed, respectively.

Microsoft&#8217;s outage began at approximately 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, affecting a subset of its customers with issues in multiple Azure services in the Central U.S. region. Azure is a cloud computing platform that offers services for building, deploying, and managing applications and services.
Why It Matters: This is not the first time Microsoft has faced issues with its cloud services. In January 2023, Microsoft 365 experienced a global outage that impacted services like Teams, Outlook, and Xbox Live. The company later identified a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30563549/microsoft-365-services-down-globally-for-hours-company-says-rolled-back-a-network-change">potential networking issue</a>.
Microsoft&#8217;s cloud services have also been subject to scrutiny. In May, a Spanish <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38669008/microsoft-faces-scrutiny-over-cloud-practices-as-spanish-startup-association-files-complaint-all-com">startup group filed a complaint</a> against Microsoft&#8217;s cloud practices, alleging that the tech giant was using its dominant position to force the adoption of its Azure cloud. This complaint adds to the challenges faced by Microsoft&#8217;s rapidly expanding cloud computing services.
In its annual sustainability report in May, Microsoft reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38875696/microsofts-ai-ambition-and-data-center-growth-side-effects-emissions">nearly 30% increase in emissions</a> since 2020, primarily driven by the expansion of data centers required for AI and cloud computing.
Price Action: Microsoft Corp&#8217;s stock closed at $440.37 on Thursday, down 0.71% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 0.28%. Year to date, Microsoft shares have gained 18.74%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
