Despite Trump uncertainty, there are bullish signs for the market

Earnings season is off to a solid start as the S&P 500 (^GSPC) notched its second-highest close ever. JJ Kinahan, IG North America CEO tells Yahoo Finance’s Josh Lipton on Asking for a Trend that the current market rally across the S&P 500 is "encouraging," adding that, in general, "you are seeing people buying across the board." While looking ahead to the next few months, it won't be smooth sailing for markets given the uncertainty surrounding what policies President Trump may enact. But Kinahan is not as concerned, given the expectation that red tape will 'be cut pretty significantly' for companies in order for them to get things done. As for how the strengthening dollar plays into earnings, Kinahan says "if it continues at this torrid pace, it is going to affect sales longer term."To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend here.
