Weekend Market Rundown: Relief Rally Ahead?

  • Resumen

  • Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1124. Hey everyone, it's your pal, Wally Pip, here with Spy Trader! It's 6 am on Saturday, April 26th, 2025, Pacific Time, and time for your weekend market rundown. The market has been on a relief rally recently, and we're here to break it all down. What's a stockbroker's favorite type of bread? Whole grain, with rising potential. Let's get started! The S&P 500 is up for four straight days! We saw some solid gains this week, with the Dow closing Friday at 40,114, up 0.1%. The S&P 500 closed at 5,525, gaining 0.7%, and the Nasdaq jumped 1.3%, really driven by those big tech stocks like Nvidia. For the whole week, the Nasdaq was a star, up 6.7%, the S&P 500 climbed 4.6%, and the Dow added 2.5%. Breaking it down by sector, consumer discretionary and tech really led the charge, signaling a "riskon" mood. We saw Tesla jump after some news about loosened selfdriving car regulations, and Alphabet, that's Google, got a boost from a strong earnings report. On the flip side, Intel took a hit after a disappointing forecast, and TMobile dipped due to soft subscriber growth. There are some key events to keep an eye on. The easing of trade tensions between the US and China, even talk of potential tariff exemptions, is a big deal. We're in the middle of earnings season, and about 75% of companies are beating expectations. Remember Charter Communications? They surged after betterthanexpected revenues. But it's not all sunshine; PepsiCo's stock took a hit after cutting its profit forecast, blaming increased tariff costs. So, what's the play here? First, diversification is always your friend. Wider earnings growth means it's a good time to spread your investments around. Keep an eye on healthcare and financials, they look promising. But, let's be cautiously optimistic. Even with this rebound, there's still uncertainty around trade and the overall economy. Specifically, watch those USChina trade talks and any potential deals with other countries. Don't be afraid to look at international equities as well. A welldiversified portfolio could really benefit from global exposure. My recommendation? Keep an eye on those trade developments, stay informed on macroeconomic data, and always, always do your homework on company earnings. That's your roadmap to making smart investment decisions. This isn't financial advice, folks, just my take on things. Market conditions change, so stay sharp! That's all for this edition of Spy Trader. Happy trading!
