What to Watch Today

A resilient tech sector, evidenced by the QQQ’s performance, is currently driving market momentum. We expect this to continue unless we see a significant upward revision in inflation expectations—currently, the daily refresh of 12 indicators shows no immediate cause for concern—or a breakdown in earnings guidance from key semiconductor companies reporting this week.
Market Pulse

Heading into today’s open, the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) closed yesterday at $741.47, up +1.87%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) finished at $773.50, a gain of +0.95%. The 10-Year Treasury Yield currently stands at 4.96% as markets assess persistently high rates and their impact on corporate earnings.

Sector Spotlight

This week we're leaning into Semiconductors (SMH) and Growth/Tech (QQQ). SMH is showing strong momentum with a +6.3% gain over the last month and remains above its 50-day trend, signaling sustained bullishness. QQQ also demonstrates positive momentum at +3.9% for the month, exceeding its 50-day trend—reflecting continued appetite for tech leadership even amid rate concerns.

Sector Scorecard

Last week’s sectors presented a mixed bag. Gold (GLD) outperformed with a +1.49% return, likely bolstered by safe-haven demand. However, Healthcare/Defensive (XLV) lagged at -0.59%, and Financials (XLF) underperformed significantly with a -2.01% weekly decline.

About TradeWise Club

TradeWise Club was born from a simple frustration: working professionals shouldn't have to choose between their careers and the market. Earnings move overnight, sectors rotate intraday, drawdowns happen in minutes. Reacting to that has traditionally meant sitting in front of a screen all day. Most people can't. Most who try end up losing more to bad timing than they ever gain from being "in the market."

TradeWise Club closes that gap. It's an automated, methodology-driven system that monitors the market continuously and generates daily stock recommendations grounded in a comprehensive multi-factor framework. For deployed capital, it executes trades that capture upside while protecting against the downside. The goal is simple: capture meaningful returns without requiring constant screen time.
