Good MorningEquity markets were relatively steady on Wednesday as participants awaited the next major market-moving event. The likely answer is the Q2 earnings reporting cycle, which is scheduled to start soon. The forecasts for Q2 earnings growth are diminished, but growth is expected, and it may be better than the consensus estimates indicate. Analysts have set a low bar due to the unknown impact of Trump's tariffs, while economic data reveals a resilient consumer.
This week's hurdle is still the PCE price index on Friday. The index is expected to reveal that inflation accelerated compared to the previous year, contrary to an expectation for the FOMC to cut rates this year. At best, the FOMC may cut rates a single time, by 25 basis points, despite the rhetoric, unless inflation or labor markets cool significantly. Until then, they are in a wait-and-see mode to see what the net result of Trump's economic, trade, and geopolitical policies will be.

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.
