Market Outlook
For the next 30 days, I am neutral to Bearish on the market. The recent volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions and economic indicators, suggests caution. While opportunities exist in undervalued stocks and resilient sectors, risks such as trade tensions and potential economic slowdown persist. The upcoming earnings season and economic reports will be crucial in shaping market sentiment.
