Nvidia earnings, geopolitics could offer needed market 'catalysts'

As company earnings continue to beat Wall Street expectations, US Equities (^GSPC, ^DJI, ^IXIC) are rising from April lows. The market has also begun to price in the Federal Reserve's policy of keeping higher interest rates for longer, but is there more for investors to consider for the next few months? Horizon Investments Chief Investment Officer Scott Ladner and Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods join Market Domination to provide insight into navigating the market during the current economic environment. Ladner argues that the market needs a new catalyst. In the absence of any large upcoming catalyst, investors may be staring down a more challenging few months: "We could actually have some, some positive catalysts from the geopolitical standpoint. But I don't see anything huge on the horizon, frankly. I mean, I think this is gonna be a bit of a grinder, probably a little bit grinder for the next few months, but grinding up rather than down. " Woods questions how far earnings can carry the market: "Individual earnings, they're not enough to take that next leg higher. Amazon (AMZN) made a new high today. It's on the verge of a major breakout. If you look at it on a weekly chart, it hasn't taken us there. Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), did, Microsoft (MSFT) didn't on solid earnings. So we're not seeing that euphoria. We're not seeing that tailwind we want to see. " For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

Stocks: Defense will win in 2024, says Evercore's Emanuel

With inflation cooling and the Federal Reserve signaling interest rate cuts in 2024, many investors and analysts seem to be adopting a bullish outlook for 2024. Could the market build upon its recent rally in 2024? Or are analyst and investors too optimistic? Julian Emanuel, Senior Managing Director of Evercore ISI, joins Yahoo Finance to discuss why he believes the market is not out of the woods just yet and why investors should consider a more defensive position. Emanuel says he wants to be defensive in 2024, but notes that "defense can have certain different connotations... It's interesting that communication services is defensive even in a recession because you're going to get ad spend on both the election and the Olympics, consumer staples has not been able to "bank" any of the benefits of declining input costs. Remember, commodity prices have been down substantially the last several months as well as the benefits as yields coming off."
