Good MorningThe S&P 500 advanced last week, climbing the wall of worry as the U.S. economy continues to grow. Markets are eyeing Fed rate cuts, with CME FedWatch showing a 100% chance of another 25 bp cut this year and rising odds of more in 2026. Risk-on tone was clear, with the Russell 2000 up 2.5% and hitting a record high, while lower yields lifted dividend names like Reynolds Consumer Products and Conagra Brands, both gaining over 5% on the week.
This week’s calendar is lighter, though a dozen Fed speakers could sway sentiment. Recent data shows steady labor conditions, firm housing, and improving auto sales. Q3 earnings season begins soon, with forecasts calling for nearly 8% growth. On the MarketBeat watchlist: PepsiCo, Delta Air Lines, Levi Strauss, and Applied Digital are set to report, with a focus on cash flow, capital returns, and outlooks.
