It’s no secret that volatility has been the name of the game in the stock market over the past couple of weeks. President Trump’s announcement of new trade tariffs spooked investors, as uncertainty surrounding the future of economic activity and growth targets has become cloudy at best.... |
Good MorningEquity markets finished out a wild week on more certain footing, rising slightly on Thursday to close off the week at a low. The takeaway is that market fears have subsided, but uncertainty remains. The question is what will happen over the coming weeks, including earnings, economic data, and the FOMC. The takeaway for traders is that, while volatility has subsided, it remains elevated relative to historical norms. This suggests the market could sell off in fear as quickly as rally in relief.
Among the drivers of stock action was guidance. Guidance from a growing number of companies has been diminished, and it is dragging down the year's outlook. The consensus figures for Q2, Q3, and Q4 have deteriorated substantially and run the risk of falling below the Q1 pace or worse, into contraction. In that scenario, the sell-off in the S&P 500 could continue and take the index to new lows. Featured: Wall Street Bets Big on Prediction Markets Heres a Microcap to Watch (Ad)
