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.

From Our Partners | | Marc Chaikin, founder of Chaikin Analytics, says two forces - AI disruption and fracturing global trade - are triggering a historic wealth transfer already underway in 2026. Household names like Intuit (-57%), Boston Scientific (-49%), and Tractor Supply (-40%) are cratering, while lesser-known companies like Sandisk (+573%) and Rackspace (+444%) surge.
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.
