Market Outlook

For the next 30 days, I am neutral on the market. The recent volatility and declines in major indices, driven by trade tensions and rising yields, suggest caution. However, opportunities in undervalued and growth stocks, particularly in technology, could provide upside potential. Key economic indicators and earnings reports will be crucial in shaping market sentiment.
