Good MorningEquity markets pulled back on Thursday, signaling a market top. The S&P 500 may continue to pull back in the coming week, but the decline will likely be shallow and short-lived because earnings will continue to grow. Comments from Fed chief Jerome Powell were among the day's catalysts, indicating a cautious approach to interest rate policy over the coming months. The market wants a faster pace of interest rate reduction, but the flip side is that economic health remains solid and sufficient to sustain higher prices, which is good news for S&P 500 companies.
Next week, earnings reports will come from several retailers, including Walmart, Target, and Lowe's. The trio will likely report mixed results, with Walmart growing, Target lagging, and Lowe's impacted by consumer headwinds. The outlook for the current quarter, which is the all-important holiday shopping quarter critical for most retailers, will drive their share prices and the next move in the S&P 500.

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.
