Navigating Unexpected Market Breaks: Strategies for the Future
Dow Jones futures, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures, are set to open Sunday evening. The stock market rally had a mixed week, with the major indexes initially rising but hitting resistance later on. Market breadth was weak, and the Russell 2000 reversed lower. Investors should exercise caution with new buys as the market rally struggles and earnings season picks up steam. Tesla is expected to report its worst earnings in two years, while chip-equipment makers Lam Research and ASML, along with Taiwan Semiconductor, are set to release their results. Oil-services giant SLB kicks off energy earnings. Lululemon Athletica will join the S&P 500 index. Beijing plans to boost deficit spending to stimulate the economy.
