Good MorningEquity markets advanced on Monday with the S&P 500 setting a new all-time high. The move is due to an improvement in the economic outlook and robust AI spending trends. The question is whether the index will outperform its Q2 forecasts when the reports start coming in, and the odds are high that it will. The index can continue to move higher in this scenario and may begin to accelerate by the end of the reporting cycle.
This week's hurdle is the monthly labor data. The data is expected to reveal ongoing resilience within the labor markets, affirming the outlook for economic growth in Q2. The risk is that the data will reflect a larger-than-expected slowdown in employment, although the trends in weekly jobless claims do not suggest this. The takeaway for investors is that the U.S. economy remains in a healthy condition and that S&P 500 earnings are expected to have grown in Q2 and to continue growing in Q3 and Q4.
