JPMorgan: The stock market sell-off may be nearing its end
PANews October 22 reported that Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, JPMorgan's global market strategist, and his team believe that the recent decline in the semiconductor sector indicates that most long positions, including those of momentum investors, have already been closed. Although short-term headwinds remain, this position adjustment may have limited room for further market declines. The JPMorgan team also discussed another recent market concern: financing risks for emerging cloud companies. JPMorgan believes that financing is indeed an issue to some extent, but given the exceptionally strong demand for computing resources, the relevant companies may be able to pass on the impact of higher financing costs to end customers. Even if financing becomes unviable, he does not believe that the timing mismatch between capital expenditures and revenue would disrupt the industry's overall growth cycle.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is an institutional assessment: some bullish capital may already have exited, potentially reducing further selling pressure. For emerging cloud companies, higher financing costs are an issue, but JPMorgan believes companies may absorb part of the impact by charging customers, and the industry's growth cycle may not necessarily be disrupted as a result.
Why it matters to readers
If the position adjustment is indeed nearing completion, room for further declines in the stock market, particularly semiconductor-related sectors, may be limited; if financing costs can be passed on, emerging cloud companies may also continue growing. However, the original text presents a view, not confirmation that the market has bottomed.
Beginners should understand “may be nearing its end” as an institutional forecast, not a guarantee. Continue monitoring the semiconductor sector's performance and whether cloud companies can secure financing and pass on costs.
Risks and unknowns
The original text provides no position, price, or trading-volume data to verify that “most long positions have already been closed.”
The original text does not specify what the short-term headwinds are.
The original text does not identify which emerging cloud companies face financing risks.
Whether financing costs can be passed on to end customers remains unconfirmed.
It remains impossible to confirm whether the stock market is nearing the end of this round of declines.
