Stocks Advance, Dollar And Oil Retreat, While Bitcoin Skyrockets: What's Driving Markets Monday?
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stocks are expected to start the week strong due to earnings optimism. The third-quarter earnings season begins this week with companies like Tesla, Netflix, Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson set to release their earnings. S&P 500 earnings could increase by 0.4% in the third quarter, marking a potential inflection after four straight quarters of negative earnings growth. However, tech stocks are at risk due to looming earnings and concerns about their stretched valuation. The S&P 500 has completed the first year of the bull market with a gain of 21.6%, and the second year could see average returns of 13-14%.
