Good MorningThis could be another nerve-wracking week for traders. Not only is the earnings season ramping to high gear, but important economic data is due, and there could be news regarding tariffs. As it is, the bulk of the tariff threat has been pushed out to a later date, but there is still a threat. While President Trump postponed some tariffs, he increased the burden for China, effectively shutting it off to U.S. markets.
The S&P 500 appears to have hit bottom last week and will likely increase to a new all-time high by year's end. The risk for investors is near-term volatility, and the chance that tariffs postponed for now will be reinstated later. How badly the S&P 500 is impacted depends on the impact on earnings and the outlook for capital returns. If the outlook for capital returns begins to diminish, the S&P 500 could easily move to a new low and continue downward. Featured: Elon’s big $266,000 per second purchase (Ad)

From Our Partners | | Trump is launching a new $250 bill - but that may be a distraction. Behind the scenes, Executive Order 14241 is orchestrating what analyst Porter Stansberry calls a total U.S. money reset, bypassing conventional legal channels under the guise of national security.
The last time America reset its currency - under Nixon in the 1970s - it created an average of 1,300 new millionaires a day for over 50 years. Stansberry has identified three asset categories connected to Trump's initiative that could surge, plus his single top investment move. | | Watch the documentary briefing and find out which side you land on |
