Good MorningEquities rebounded on Tuesday, the first trading day of the week, but we urge investors not to read too much into the move. the rally comes in the wake of new lows for the S&P 500 and is not likely to gain much momentum. The S&P 500 broke out of a downward slanting channel in the previous week which suggests the downtrend will gain momentum and not the other way around. This week, there will be few economic or earnings reports to move the market so inflationary concerns, fear of recession, and Fedspeak will likely take the fore.
The next big hurdle for the market will be the 2nd quarter earnings reporting season. The peak of the season begins in about three weeks with reports from JPMorgan Chase and other big banks and the news may not be good. Rising inflation and dwindling savings could put a cap on consumer spending which is the backbone of the American economy. Featured: Everyone’s watching Nvidia right now. Here’s why I’m excited.
