Good MorningEquity markets hovered at record highs on Tuesday after labor data showed a surprising increase in job availability. The JOLTs report showed job openings rise to 7.4 million, contrary to expectations for decline. The data is solid and shows economic resilience, which is likely seen in other data this week. This week's other labor data includes the ADP and NFP employment reports and the Challenger, Gray & Christmas report on layoffs and planned hirings.
The market may experience some volatility this week and next—the labor trends amount to a good-news-is-bad-news-is-good-news situation that will lead to new highs but possibly not quickly or in a straight line. The good news is that economic conditions remain solid; the bad news is that the FOMC is unlikely to lower the base rate below 3.7% in 2025. The FOMC may disappoint the market next week when it issues the December policy statement. Still, a reduction in the outlook isn't so bad because of the underlying economic strength and outlook for S&P 500 earnings. The S&P 500 is expected to accelerate earnings growth over the next three quarters. Featured: Move Your Money Here Before September 30th (Ad)

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.
