Market Outlook

For the next 30 days, I am bullish on the market. The positive outlook is supported by strong economic data, particularly consumer spending, and a favorable interest rate environment with potential rate cuts. Additionally, the ongoing positive earnings season is expected to continue, providing further support to the market's uptrend.
