Wall Street Set To Open Weak Lower As Tech Feels China Chill: Analyst Says Stay Bullish 'If And Until This Changes'
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Wall Street is expected to open lower, influenced by concerns over China's plan to exclude U.S. chipmakers from government PCs and servers, and anticipation of Federal Reserve speeches. Last week, the market saw a recovery after the Fed hinted at possible rate cuts, but ended with slight retreats. Analysts offer mixed views, with some predicting a correction and others remaining bullish. Premarket trading saw declines in major ETFs and companies like AMD, INTC, and TSLA, while MASI surged on news of an upcoming proxy battle.
