Good MorningEquity markets pulled back from their peak last week, but the stock market's uptrend is unlikely to be over. The pullback is a needed consolidation following the post-election rally and will set the market up to move higher sustainably. The uptrend in stocks is supported by growing economic growth, earnings, and capital returns, which are not expected to end soon. With monetary policy easing and Trump entering the White House, the rally could run through the end of the next year.
Next week's hurdle is retail earnings. Reports are due from Walmart, TJX Companies, Lowe's, Target and many others. The forecast is for about 5% industry growth, with Walmart and TJX Companies leading. Target may have lost more market share. Lowe's Companies is expected to contract less than in previous quarters while sustaining positive cash flow and the capital return outlook. Featured: JD Vance’s Shocking Warning: Your Money’s Next.
