What to Watch Today

Expect continued, albeit potentially cautious, optimism as markets digest recent earnings and look ahead to next week’s economic data.
Market Pulse

Equities finished strongly yesterday, with the QQQ leading the charge and the SPY posting respectable gains. Gold continued its upward trajectory, suggesting persistent, though not panicked, demand for safe haven assets, while treasury yields softened slightly – a potentially positive signal heading into today.

Sector Spotlight

Tech (XLK), Communication Services (XLC), and Energy (XLE) demonstrated clear momentum yesterday and look poised to potentially continue that strength today. We’re watching to see if this rotation out of lagging sectors like Financials (XLF) and Real Estate (XLRE) persists.

Today we’re watching APLD, BAC, CPNG, KVUE, ORCL, and TXN for notable price action and volume.
