Good MorningEquity markets advanced the previous week as economic and earnings trends lifted the market. The move was driven by better-than-expected results from NVIDIA and many retailers, including Walmart, Lowe's, and TJX Companies. The takeaway is that the consumer remains resilient, and the outlook for Q4 is likely low. The consensus is a low-single-digit increase in holiday quarter sales, sufficient to set a record.
Next week is a holiday-shortened week; the market is closed Thursday for Thanksgiving. The critical resistance point for the S&P 500 is near 6,100 and may be reached soon. A move above that level would signal a continuation of the market trends and a likelihood of a substantial gain in 2025. In that scenario, the S&P 500 could rise by another 1,300 basis points before topping out. Featured: Is Your Portfolio Ready for Post-Election Uncertainty? (Darwin)
