Market Outlook
For the next 30 days, the market outlook is neutral. Despite strong economic fundamentals, including a solid jobs report and moderating inflation, uncertainties such as geopolitical tensions and the upcoming U.S. presidential election could lead to volatility. Equity valuations remain high, and credit spreads are tight, which may keep the market stagnant until these uncertainties are resolved.
