NYSE:AMC went right back to its losing ways on Tuesday after snapping an eight-day skid during Monday’s session. Shares of AMC tumbled by 6.94% and closed the tumultuous session at $17.42. US Markets whipsawed on Tuesday after a key consumer price report showed that inflation in the economy had hit its highest levels since 1981. What started out as a market rebound, closed as another bearish session resulting in the S&P 500 and NASDAQ falling for the third straight day, by 0.34% and 0.30% respectively. The Dow Jones dropped by 87 basis points after trading higher by more than 200 basis points during the morning.

Much to the chagrin of retail traders, it was AMC’s CFO and not CEO who was appointed to the board of directors of Hycroft Mining (NASDAQ:HYMC). Not that it really makes a difference, but CEO Adam Aron has become a cult hero for social media investors. Perhaps they were hoping that Aron could rejuvenate Hycroft the same way he has for AMC. The theater company invested in Hycroft Mining earlier this year to diversify from its cinema business and help another company that is facing bankruptcy. Shares of HYMC tumbled by 9.5% during Tuesday’s session.
