In the latest Market Signals podcast, LPL Research strategists recap another positive week for stocks, share their outlook for market volatility, recap an excellent earnings season, and preview the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting in Jackson Hole, WY.
Stocks got a boost last week from a better-than-expected reading on consumer inflation and bargain hunting in healthcare, which helped offset a hot reading on wholesale prices.
Next, the strategists share their expectations for market volatility, through the lenses of market positioning, seasonality, and investor sentiment. They believe the chances of additional bouts of volatility in the coming months are rising.
Next, the strategists recap a very strong earnings season, driven by the so-called Magnificent Seven. Corporate America has done an excellent job managing tariff costs so far, though it’s too early to declare victory.
The strategists close with a quick preview of the week ahead, including thoughts on the Fed’s Jackson Hole event and upcoming earnings reports from leading retailers.
