Good MorningEquity markets increased last week after solid reports from big tech names Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Amazon, and favorable economic data, including the PCE price index and the NFP report. The big tech reports reveal solid spending for AI across verticals, while the economic data shows solid job gains and cooling inflation. The S&P 500 would move higher in this scenario if not for the tariff threat, which has yet to be fully realized.
The impact of tariffs on Q1 results is in the guidance. The guidance for most S&P 500 companies has been trimmed, and there is a risk that the outlook could continue to weaken. However, due to the uncertainty regarding trade and tariffs, there is as much risk of a catalyst for a rally emerging as one for selling. The takeaway for investors and traders is to be cautious and prepared for anything to happen in the week ahead. Featured: The Next SpaceX Pre IPO (Ad)
