Investors See Mixed Messages Before Earnings Season

The latest bull run was halted when the Consumer Price Index rose more than expected. While that could be a sign that inflation is returning, investors were also left with weekly unemployment claims that rose to a 14-month high, which was much more than expected. There may be a logical explanation for the jobless claims, but we’ll get to that in a second. The markets are awaiting Q3 earnings, which will be the next driver of prices, but in which direction? That and more ahead.
Stocks Are Prepping For a Breakout!

Investors are undoubtedly dealing with fear, uncertainty, and doubt right now. The situation in the Middle East is getting worse. Russia and Ukraine are still fighting. And now in the U.S. people are starting to question if a 50 basis point cut was too much, too fast, and will lead to inflation. But all of that aside, and I know that’s a lot, I think the market is prepping for a breakout and some of the best trading for the rest of the year still lies ahead!

Can the S&P 500 Break Its September Slump? A Look at the Bullish Rally and What’s Next for the Market

After the Fed announced the first rate cut, the market has been rallying to new all-time highs. And why wouldn’t it? The GDP report was in line with expectations, unemployment claims came under expectations, and Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, said he is dedicated to keeping the US Treasury market – the deepest and most liquid in the world – functioning at a high level.
The bullishness has pushed the S&P 500 to be on pace to do something it hasn’t done in the last four years. It might close September in the green, but how long can this rally last?
