This Week’s Market Forecast… 📊

The market is back to an eventful week after a rather slow week last week. The market was strong throughout the week, but then sold off hard Friday after a weaker consumer confidence report, and growing fears of an economic slowdown due to tariffs and DOGE.

This week’s major focus will be NVIDIA. $NVDA reports their much anticipated earnings on Wednesday after the bell. Investors will be completely dialed into the report, and more importantly the guidance that Jensen and Nvidia provide. In late January, a large language model called DeepSeek, was released out of China. This caused an immediate sell off in tech stocks, and Nvidia declined 17% on that day alone.

The worry that came with the DeepSeek announcement was that the demand for Nvidia’s chips will decline immediately. Nvidia and the market has calmed some of those fears, but it will be interesting to hear what Jensen Huang has to say regarding DeepSeek and the demand for chips. The movement in $NVDA will be primarily based on the guidance and commentary given.

Last week saw minimal economic data releases, though Friday’s negative consumer confidence report stood out. This week, the key data point to watch is Core PCE, set for release Thursday morning. As the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, Core PCE carries weight, but I don’t expect a major market reaction. However, inflation has continued trending higher, as seen in both the CPI and PPI reports.

There has been a lot of worry in the market, and it feels as if more bears are coming out of hibernation as inflation fears reignite. Even with all of the choppiness that we have experienced this year, the market is up 2.46%. Recently the 10-Year has continued its decline, and it is down about 8% since mid January. To me the declining yield is bullish for equities, and will help the market ultimately rise.

I believe that we will continue to see choppiness in the market. There is certainly a chance of a short term correction of 5% in the near term. However, I believe the market has a strong footing, and any major pullbacks will be good buying opportunities.

As always, be positive, get invested, and stay optimistic!!

Have a wonderful week!!
