Good MorningThe S&P 500 is on track to continue its uptrend. Last week's action put the index at a fresh all-time high, bringing targets above 7,000 into play. The question now is whether the market will continue to accelerate, rising to new highs quickly, or if it will struggle to advance until additional catalysts appear.
Additional catalysts may appear as soon as this week. Not only are there rumors of trade deals, but the labor data is due. The initial claims figures suggest that the labor market remains healthy. If the monthly data affirm that, the S&P 500 will likely continue rising in July, potentially rising above the 6,500 level by summer's end. The risk is in the earnings reports. The Q3 reporting cycle begins next week and may impair the outlook. Featured: Wall Street’s quietly buying these 3 AI infrastructure plays (Ad)
