Good MorningEquity markets showed some resilience on Thursday, hovering near record highs after a batch of mixed earnings reports. The takeaway is that earnings remain strong, although growth is shy of expectations in some cases. This leads to accelerated rotation in some stocks, including names like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and other leading blue-chip tech companies. What this means for the S&P 500 is that a new set of leaders could emerge over the next few weeks; the question is who they will be. Thursday's percentage gain leaders included key consumer names like Ralph Lauren and Phillip Morris, which reported better-than-expected results.
Earnings and economic data will drive next week's action. Today's NFP report underscores the financial outlook for healthy conditions and expansion to continue. Inflation is unlikely to abate in this environment, and interest rates will not change, but it won't matter if the S&P 500 continues to make money and pay its shareholders.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
