US Stocks Could Pause For Breather After Record Rally: Analyst Says 'No Doubt' That 2024 Shaping Up To 'Best Year Since 1999'
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stocks may see a pause after a record rally, with caution returning ahead of key economic data. AI-leveraged stocks could provide support. Last week, buoyed by Nvidia's earnings, US stocks hit new highs. Analysts are optimistic about 2024, expecting narrow market focus and benefits from Fed rate cuts and election year optimism. Futures indicate a mixed opening. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ ETF showed slight premarket movements. Key companies like Berkshire Hathaway and Li Auto saw premarket gains following earnings reports.
