US Stocks Take A Breather, Nasdaq Notches Fifth Straight Month Of Gains: Investors Gear Up For Pivotal Week
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stocks are expected to start the week sluggishly, with key earnings reports and labor market readings potentially influencing the market. Apple's earnings report on Thursday is seen as a crucial indicator of global consumer health. Last week, the major averages advanced due to earnings optimism and benign inflation readings. LPL Financial's Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist believes the current bull market rally is sustainable due to broader participation. In premarket trading on Monday, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust rose 0.06% and the Invesco QQQ ETF edged down 0.01%. Several companies, including Palantir Technologies, Advanced Micro Devices, and Microsoft, are in focus due to their upcoming earnings reports.
