Good MorningEquity markets retreated on Wednesday following a weak GDP reading. The initial Q1 GDP reading showed a contraction, but the broader outlook remains resilient. The market slipped on the news but showed support at a pair of moving averages aligning with the rebound outlook. In this scenario, the market is likely to continue advancing on Thursday and Friday and could reach the 5,700 level next week.
The first reading of Q1 GDP came in at -0.3%, raising the risk of a recession. A recession, by definition, is two successive quarters of negative GDP growth. The risk for sellers is that GDP is revised and will likely be increased next month. The more significant figures were the inflation data, which showed that March PCE cooled at the headline level and core inflation tracked in line with an outlook for an interest rate reduction. The takeaway is that economic risks are increasing, but so are the odds for the FOMC to step in, cut rates, and stimulate activity. Featured: Move Your Money Here Before August 31st (Ad)

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.
