Good MorningEquity markets rebounded strongly on Wednesday following signals from Washington that the peak of tariff and policy-related jitters had passed. The signals included an expected de-escalation of the trade war and a statement from the President stating that he wouldn't try to fire Fed Chief Jerome Powell.
The bad news is that the market was unable to hold the session highs, selling off throughout the afternoon to form a red candle confirming resistance at critical levels. Investors should expect volatility to persist if not another downturn in stock prices.
Thursday's risks include the jobless claims and existing home sales figures. Jobless claims are expected to remain in the healthy range, aligning with trends, while home sales are likely to be weak. Existing home sales are hindered by a low inventory of new homes, high prices, and interest rates, and are unlikely to accelerate without a significant change in these fundamentals.
