Earnings season is about to begin, and it could set the tone for the rest of the quarter. This week, several of the nation’s largest banks, including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup, report earnings. These companies provide an early look at the health of the economy because they see consumer spending, […]

The market continues to show resilience. Despite weaker-than-expected economic data last week, the S&P 500 held its ground and remains within striking distance of new all-time highs. Historically, July has been one of the strongest months for stocks, and if those seasonal trends continue, we could see another leg higher before the month is over.

As we celebrate Independence Day, it’s worth remembering that 1776 marked more than just America’s political independence. It also marked the beginning of an economic revolution. In March of that same year, Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, introducing ideas that would forever change the way the world thinks about prosperity, free markets, and

A few weeks ago, it seemed like everyone was talking about SpaceX. The IPO captured headlines, attracted enormous investor interest, and sent shares soaring in the first days of trading. But now the stock has started to come back down to earth. After reaching highs near $225, shares have pulled back significantly and are trading

History was made this week. After years of anticipation, SpaceX officially went public, delivering what became one of the largest and most talked-about IPOs in market history.

Last week delivered a perfect example of how the stock market and the economy are not always looking at the same thing. The jobs report came in far stronger than expected. Economists were looking for roughly 86,000 new jobs, but the actual number came in around 175,000. To make matters even more interesting, the previous

The market continues to push higher. What started as an AI-driven rally has now broadened into a much wider advance, with multiple sectors participating and major indexes reaching new highs. The Dow Jones has now posted nine consecutive positive weeks and recently broke above the 50,000 level, a technical milestone that has many investors paying

After one of the strongest rallies in years, the market may finally be showing the first signs of fatigue. Last week broke a seven-week winning streak, and while the pullback has been modest so far, investors are starting to ask whether momentum is beginning to shift.  At this point, we are not seeing anything alarming.

Another week, another powerful move higher in the market. The S&P 500 gained nearly 4 percent last week alone, continuing a rally that has been driven heavily by AI-related semiconductor, software, and data infrastructure companies.  At this point, the question is no longer whether momentum exists. The question is how long it can continue. Momentum

The market is still climbing and it is doing so at a historic pace. Since the low in late March, the S&P 500 has surged roughly 14 percent, marking one of the fastest recoveries from a 10 percent correction ever recorded. It took just 11 trading days to fully recover that decline.  That kind of
