SPY - US Stocks Set For Rebound Aim To Snap 3-Session Slump And Close Quarter Strong: Analyst Foresees Robust April Ahead | Benzinga
Bargain hunters may flock to the market on Wednesday following three consecutive sessions of losses. While the absence of major catalysts could lead to indecision among traders, the upward momentum remains intact despite recent weakness. So far this quarter, the S&P 500 Index has gained a little over 9%, trading just shy of its all-time high.
According to fund manager Louis Navellier, the anticipated Fed cuts alongside earnings momentum will determine whether we have already witnessed most of this year’s gains or if it marks the beginning of a robust year ahead.
Review of Previous Session:
Stocks experienced a last-hour sell-off on Tuesday after maintaining levels above the unchanged line for the majority of the session. Notable economic data includes durable goods orders rebounding slightly more than expected in February, while consumer confidence for March remained steady compared to the previous month.
The session saw a majority of S&P sectors (9 out of 11) closing lower, with utility, energy, and IT stocks experiencing notable weakness.
