Good MorningThe equity market ended the fourth down week in a row on a very positive note. The major indices extended Thursday’s rebound to post gains in the range of 1.0% across the board. The rebound was led by the tech sector with Apple at the fore with one thing in mind; the third-quarter earnings cycle.
The analysts have already been upping their estimates for the 3rd quarter but the signs are clear the consensus targets are still too low. Reports from Costco, Nike, and CarMax were not only stronger than expected but show signs of acceleration. It will be a few more weeks until peak season is upon us but it looks like the correction is over. Until then, investors should be prepared for news-driven volatility. The biggest risk is to the upside. If Congress passes another stimulus bill the market should react favorably.
