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.

How discount stores are carrying the retail sector

While consumer spending has remained relatively strong through inflation, retailers have struggled to stay relevant, with Macy's (M) announcing it will shutter 150 locations. Discount retailers like The TJX Companies (TJX) and Burlington Stores (BURL), however, have held up as consumers seek sales elsewhere under the pressure of inflation. JLL Americas President of Retail Naveen Jaggi joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the state of retail and the consumer, as well as the success of brands like Burlington. He discusses Burlington's recent growth and how it relates to the consumer: "Today, they're opening over 60 stores a year and they're taking 50, 60, 70,000 square feet in some places. To me, I'm watching that entire sector and saying where the US consumer is shopping, that's the sector I want to watch because that tells me where we spend our dollars has the most sustainability in the long run and today more than ever, the dollar value sector is grabbing a more lion's share of the US consumer than ever before."

Economist explains top 3 risks to consumer spending in 2024

The 2023 holiday season proved to be robust for US consumer spending, with consumer confidence rising. However, with many economic headwinds to weather in 2024, questions arise around the status of consumer spending going forward. Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the current economic environment and lay out the possible risks to the consumer spending. Slok explains that consumers are beginning to run out of excess savings dating back decreased spending from the pandemic, and the combination of mortgage rates and resuming of student loans could be a significant blow to consumer spending. "At the same time, because of the Fed deciding to turn more dovish and the market interpreting that in a more dovish way, that is now becoming a bit more of a tailwind, so we don't anticipate that this will create a sharp slowdown," Slok says. "But, it is very critical that excess savings running out will begin to give a path for consumption where we are going to see a slower growth rate over the next several quarters. That should be a softer landing for the US economy overall." Editor's note: Apollo Global Management owns a majority stake in Yahoo, the parent company of Yahoo Finance.

Consumer Staples Stocks Are Issuing a Key Stock Market Warning

Those who have tracked my work over the last decade know I’m a huge fan of intermarket analysis and using relative price movement to analyze what’s really happening beneath the market’s surface. Why does this type of analysis matter? Because it’s the only way to cancel out beta. It’s also the only way to see what the market is truly thinking about certain sectors.
