This Week’s Market Outlook… 📊

The market has had a rough start to the year, with the S&P 500 down over 3% and the Nasdaq off more than 5%. Investor sentiment has turned negative amid ongoing discussions of tariffs from the Trump administration.

Over the past couple of weeks, the market has remained in a trading range following multiple consecutive declines. Investors are in wait-and-see mode ahead of April 2nd, when Trump is expected to unveil his plan for reciprocal tariffs.

This week, I anticipate continued range-bound trading with limited major moves. Earnings season has largely wrapped up, and there won’t be any significant reports from major companies for a few weeks. Last week’s weaker-than-expected retail sales report could signal softness in the upcoming earnings season.

The key economic data releases this week are the GDP report and the PCE report. While GDP will draw attention, its impact is often muted due to frequent revisions. PCE, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, will be the more important release, with expectations of an increase over the prior month.

Overall, this week is shaping up to be quieter than the last few. The market’s primary focus will be on GDP and PCE at the end of the week. I remain constructive on the market and believe periods of negativity continue to present buying opportunities.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
