TESLA (TSLA) is trending up this morning - do you think it will continue to go UP or dip DOWN by the end of the week? |
Are you ready for another exciting week ahead?
​This week, the stock market is being influenced by several key factors but here are my top 3 I am looking forward to reading more about.
1. Trade Policy Uncertainty and Tariffs
President Trump's recent imposition of sweeping tariffs on April 2, 2025, has introduced significant uncertainty into the markets. These tariffs have affected nearly all sectors of the U.S. economy, leading to cautious investor sentiment and a shift towards neutral positioning by major asset managers like Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan. The S&P 500 remains down 6.1% year-to-date, reflecting concerns about the long-term economic impact of these trade policies.
2. Corporate Earnings and Economic Indicators
Investors are closely watching a barrage of corporate earnings reports this week, as well as key economic data releases, including GDP estimates and April's jobs report. These reports are crucial for assessing the health of the economy amid ongoing trade tensions. Companies like Flight Centre have already downgraded profit forecasts, citing U.S. market disruptions and declining consumer confidence. Some KEY earnings this week include, KD, FSLR, PFE, MSFT, META, HOOD, CAT, AMZN, AAPL, MCD and several more. So it’s important to keep an eye out for these EARLY in the morning or right after the market closes.
3. Market Sentiment and Potential Stabilization
Despite recent volatility, there are signs that markets may be stabilizing. Analysts suggest that the peak in economic policy uncertainty might be behind us, and some investors are beginning to treat politically charged headlines as background noise. UBS strategist David Lefkowitz, for instance, maintains a year-end S&P 500 target of 5,800, indicating cautious optimism.
My focus this week will be to look for market dips for buying opportunities on SPY calls.
