This Week’s Market Forecast… 📊

This week will be headlined by the growing trade war between the United States and China. Over the weekend, China announced that it would be imposing 15% tariffs on coal and LNG imports from the United States. In response, President Trump stated that reciprocal tariffs would be imposed on anything China enacts.

Earnings season continues this week with several retailers reporting, starting with McDonald’s on Monday. Coca-Cola, Shopify, and Lyft will report later in the week, providing investors with valuable insights into the overall state of the consumer.

Economic data will be a key focus this week. Last week, the Non-Farm Payrolls (Jobs) report revealed weaker-than-expected job growth but a better-than-expected unemployment rate. This week, we’ll see the other side of the Federal Reserve’s mandate with the CPI (inflation) report on Wednesday.

Other major events investors will be watching include Fed Chair Powell’s testimony to Congress on Tuesday at 10 AM EST. This could be a market-moving event, and it will be interesting to hear Powell’s commentary under the new Trump administration.

This year has seen a strong sense of volatility, and this week is set to continue that trend. I believe that this volatility is creating strong buying opportunities for long-term investors, and it's important not to overreact to market declines.

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

Have a wonderful week!!
