The major indices are being pushed down by folks that have tried to derail the market since the rebound began. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are down 5.1%, 4.6% and 3.4%, respectively.

Despite the broad sell-off, there were a few bright spots.  Stocks like Netflix (NFLX), Zoom Video (ZM) and DocuSign (DOCU) are trading higher 0.77%, 2.75%, and 1.17%, respectively.

All sectors are in red this afternoon.

On the economic front, Food prices rose 0.7% in May, driven mostly by a 3.7% increase for meats, poultry, fish and eggs.  While food prices surged, the overall U.S. inflation rate for the past 12-month was 0.1%.

Grocery prices rose by 4.8%, reflecting a scarcity of some goods in high demand, as well as meat and poultry shortages. The so-called food at-home index soared 4.8% in the past 12 months, the highest rate in more than eight years. Food-away-from-home spending rose by 2.9% in the past year.

Sage and inspiring commentary. Also, your live piece today on the FOX News Network was inspiring especially for folks like me who are new to the marketplace. I have been 'blue', the past couple days as I watched the financial distress on the street reflected in my portfolio, however, as a subscriber, having you in my corner makes all the difference in believing we will pull out of this downturn. Thank you Charles Payne.

Hi Charles, just wondering when you think the markets will start rebounding. Thanks for your market comments.

Disgraceful how some are intentionally trying to promote misinformation fear and trying to tank the market. Thank you for being a voice of reason and telling it like it is. Investors have to listen and wisen up and ignore the bs. We knew unemployment would be high. The virus is being used as a tool and another scare tactic. its a pity how low not the market but people can go.

I think you are right about the left trying to derail the market.They also want to keep these demonstrations going as long as possible. Thanks
