Wall Street Looks To Feed Off Apple's Post-Earnings Power But Key Jobs Data May Upset The Cart: Analyst Says 'A Lot Of These Clouds Will Lift' If This Happens
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Wall Street anticipates continued upward momentum, buoyed by Apple's positive earnings report, which included a significant buyback program and a dividend hike. However, upcoming non-farm payrolls data and wage inflation measures may influence market sentiment. Premarket trading saw gains in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ ETF. Other stocks showed varied movements based on their earnings reports. The market's direction may hinge on inflation trends and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions.
