Good MorningThe stock market could see a significant gain this week due to Trump's postponement of E.U.-focused tariffs. The tariffs, initially slated for June 1, won't be enforced until July and potentially later or not at all if a trade agreement can be reached. The question is whether the EU will allow its member-nations to make country-specific deals. If so, the odds are high that tariffs will be avoided and the stock market will continue moving higher this year.
Other hurdles on the radar include NVIDIA's earnings report on Wednesday evening and the PCE Price Index on Friday.
NVIDIA is expected to affirm its strength in the AI industry and provide robust guidance. A slew of recent deals, including a multibillion, multiyear commitment from Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN, suggest the guidance could be another game-changing announcement for the market. The PCE is expected to show inflation cooling but will unlikely move the FOMC to adjust its policy sooner than late summer, if it is that soon. Featured: Boring, cheap, and paying 6% (Ad)
