The stock market faced significant losses last week due to a less-dovish Fed outlook, but Friday's strong rebound saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq regain key levels. Despite this, many stocks remain under pressure, and investors are advised to be cautious while considering incremental buys in leading stocks like Palantir and AppLovin. With potential government shutdown concerns looming, market stability remains uncertain.
Dow Jones futures fell modestly after a Trump-backed bill to avoid a government shutdown failed, leading to a mixed close for major indexes. FedEx reported earnings that beat expectations but provided light guidance, while Nike's results were better than feared but also included weak guidance. Treasury yields continued to rise, posing challenges for the stock market rally, which struggled to maintain gains.
Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures will open Sunday evening, with the final Federal Reserve meeting of 2024 scheduled for Dec. 17-18, where a quarter-point rate cut is expected. The stock market had a mixed week, with the Nasdaq slightly up, driven by gains in Alphabet, Tesla, and Broadcom, while Nvidia lagged amid rising Treasury yields. Palantir, MicroStrategy, and Axon Enterprise will join the Nasdaq 100 index, replacing Moderna, Super Micro Computer, and Illumina.
Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures showed little change after hours, with Broadcom and Costco reporting earnings. Broadcom's results indicated a potential breakout, while Arm Holdings flashed a buy signal. The stock market rally faced modest losses, particularly among small caps, as the Nasdaq remains near record highs despite a decline in major tech stocks like Nvidia and Adobe.
The stock market rally continues, with the Nasdaq surpassing 20,000 for the first time, driven by megacap stocks like Tesla, Google, and Amazon reaching new highs. Despite a slight dip in Dow and S&P futures, bullish sentiment remains strong, though caution is advised as the Nasdaq is extended above its 50-day moving average. Investors are encouraged to refine watchlists and prepare for potential market adjustments.
