The current market downturn, particularly in the Nasdaq, is occurring before a significant earnings collapse, leading to questions about the market's behavior.

This, in turn, is expected to raise the cost of capital, causing stocks to fall even with stable earnings estimates, and potentially leading to sticky inflation and weakening growth.
