Good MorningThe equities market started the second half of the year on solid footing. The broad market S&P 500 advanced more than 0.5% at the height of the session with slightly smaller gains for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ Composite. An up day on the first day of the new quarter generally leads to an up quarter, the question is how high will the index go before it hits the next peak? If today's non-farm payrolls report pleases the market we can expect the index to rise another 3% to 5% before experiencing major turbulence.
Next week will likely be a quiet one for the market though, not only is it a holiday-shortened week but there are very few earnings reports or economic releases of note. The next big hurdle for the market will be the Q2 earnings reporting season which kicks off in two weeks. Featured: Move Your Money Here Before September 30th (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
Chaikin has identified specific stocks he believes investors should sell before they fall further - and the names may surprise you. He's also pinpointing a company tapped as Nvidia's self-driving partner and a potential AI megadeal that could split into three high-growth stocks.

When I was a financial advisor, I would regularly get calls from people with nearly nothing invested for retirement, but they were burned out and ready to call it quits.
