Investor Sentiment Improves Following Fed Minutes; Nasdaq Settles Lower
Portfolio Pulse from Avi Kapoor
Investor sentiment improved slightly according to the CNN Money Fear and Greed index, despite the Nasdaq Composite falling for a third session. U.S. mortgage applications dropped significantly, and the Federal Reserve's latest minutes indicated a cautious approach to interest rate reductions. Palo Alto Networks and SolarEdge Technologies saw significant stock declines after disappointing financial forecasts. The S&P 500 saw modest gains, led by consumer discretionary, energy, and utilities sectors, while information technology stocks fell. Investors are looking forward to earnings results from Block, PG&E Corporation, Keurig Dr Pepper, and Booking Holdings.
